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 the website http://blueproximity.sourceforge.net .
