Auto lock the screen with Ericsson phone and Bluetooth
Authored by: wiesbeck on Feb 27, '03 10:25:51AM

For that cool little featue, you don't even need a SE phone.
The proximity sensor works just fine with any bluetooth-enabled phone.

Just the other cool stuff definitely require a Txx.

And here's how to unlock the screen again, when you come back:

try
do shell script "ps axww | grep ScreenSaverEngine | grep -v grep | awk ' { print $1 } ' | xargs kill "
end try

Would this work with just your phone? Or could anywone with a bluetooth enabled phone activate it? I have no experience with bluetooth enabled devices, just curious.

Controlling your mac only works with Ericsson/Sony-Ericsson bluetooth enabled phones

Thanks wisebeck! This is really too cool. I now have my machine go into lock screen mode when I leave the room and unlock when I return.

that works for me too but be aware that kills the screensaver with no password required.

Eveyone I show this to says "That is the coolest thing EVER!"
