Implement automatic screen locking prior to sleep
Authored by: Basilisk on Jul 17, '03 09:00:21PM

I used to get bitten by the flicker all the time. I used a program called SleepLock (I think it can still be found on MacUpdate) that caused it.

As for the "Of Death" name, you are, of course, correct. SSH and kill is an option for most OSX Hints readers I'm sure, but not for my girlfriend's Pismo, which is where I coined the term.

Besides, it has to have a cool name, I can't just call it the "Flickering ScreenSaver of Great Annoyance" :-)

SleepWatcher is excelllent. I use it myself for other things, and in fact uses the SleepWatcher source to learn how to write SleepTight.

Thanks for the kind words on MenuMeters, enjoy,

Bas
