NAME

vuelock − screen lock program for HP VUE Lite

SYNOPSIS

vuelock

DESCRIPTION

Vuelock is a separate client process that locks the screen for HP VUE Lite.  Vuelock covers the screen with a window and displays a message centered in the screen, asking the user to enter his or her password to unlock the screen.  The screen is unlocked by entering either the user’s password or the root password. 

In HP VUE Regular, the locking code is built into the session manager (vuesession), so that the vuelock client is invoked from the front panel only when running HP VUE Lite.
