NAME¶
blueproximity - locks/unlocks your desktop tracking a bluetooth device
SYNOPSIS¶
blueproximity
DESCRIPTION¶
blueproximity helps you adding a little more security to your desktop. It
does so by detecting one of your bluetooth devices, most likely your mobile
phone, and keeping track of its distance. If you move furter than a certain
distance from your computer for longer than a given time, it automatically
locks your desktop (or starts an arbitrary shell command). The
"distance" must be specified as a measure of bluetooth signal
strength rather than in meters, but BlueProximity's setup procedure helps with
this by showing you an indicator of current signal strength. Once away, if you
return nearer than a given level for a set time your computer unlocks
magically without any interaction (or starts any other shell command you
want).
Have a look at the package documentation in your distribution's doc directory,
likely /usr/share/doc/blueproximity, to read the complete html manual or visit
