lock screen automatically after time of idle

I love LXDE but I don't want to use xscreensaver. A simple script should be enough:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
while [ $(xprintidle) -le 6000 ]
do
#nothing, just wait
done
/usr/bin/dm-tool lock
But: The problem is, how to restart it automatically, after unlocking?
Can an event be triggered, similar to autostart after login? Or is there a way to find out if the screen is locked or not?
Thanks

To automatically restart the script after unlocking the screen in LXDE, you can make use of the xscreensaver events and create a script that listens for the "Unblank" event.
