I'm trying to lock the screen from the command line. I've tried two commands that I've found in other threads, but neither works:



leptogenesis@leptogenesis-laptop:~$ dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
call failed
leptogenesis@leptogenesis-laptop:~$ kdesktop_lock
bash: kdesktop_lock: command not found


What should I use to lock the screen in KDE4?

Finally found it:



qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock
