It's running: ~$ ps ax | grep xscree 145156 pts/6 S 0:35 xscreensaver -v -v -v --log /home/username/xsvr-log 145158 pts/6 S 0:00 xscreensaver-systemd --verbose 242602 pts/6 S+ 0:00 grep xscree I don't know whether I'm seeing "xscreensaver-command -deactivate" or xscreensaver-systemd diagnostics. Where should I look for these? The xscreensaver log just contains lines of the form: xscreensaver: nn:nn:nn: ClientMessage DEACTIVATE: already inactive, resetting activity time I don't see any mentions of "xscreensaver-command -deactivate" or systemd. Should I be looking somewhere else? Thanks for the help, and thanks for your work on xscreensaver! -- Celejar
