Run a script in the background to poll if the screen saver is running
and kill the session if it is. You can look at the output of
"gnome-screensaver-command -q".
e.g.
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
sleep 60s;
# first make sure gnome-screensaver is running first
gnome-screensaver-command -q > /dev/null 2>&1 || continue
# now check if the screensaver has been activated
if ! (gnome-screensaver-command -q | grep 'inactive' > /dev/null); then
# kill the session
# how? maybe this:
kill 0 -1
fi;
done
Put that in a file and run it in the background of your startup script.
