NAMEcard_eventmgr − PCSC−Lite Event Manager

SYNTAXcard_eventmgr [debug] [[no]daemon] [timeout=<msecs>] [config_file=<filename>] [kill] [pidfile=<pidfile>]

DESCRIPTIONcard_eventmgr is a smart card monitoring tool that listen to the status of the card reader and dispatch actions on several events. card_eventmgr can be used for several actions: like screen lock on card removal. Three events are supported: card insertion, card removal and timeout on removed card. Actions are specified in a configuration file.

OPTIONSdebug  Enable debugging output. [no]daemon  Runs in background if daemon or in foreground if nodaemon (default). If debug is unset, the program dettaches itself from the tty. timeout=<msecs>  Set polling timeout in milliseconds. Defaults to 1000 (1 second). config_file=<configuration file>  Sets de configuration file. Default value is /etc/pam_pkcs11/card_eventmgr.conf. pidfile=<pidfile>  Store the card_eventmgr process ID (pid) in the file pidfile. kill  Read a process id from pidfile and kill that process. You must use the argument pidfile=<pidfile> to use kill.

FILES/etc/pam_pkcs11/card_eventmgr.conf

EXAMPLESTo run this program the standard way type:
 card_eventmgr
Alternatively you can specify options:
 card_eventmgr debug nodaemon timeout=500 config_file=$HOME/.card_eventmgr.conf
If you want to start and stop card_eventmgr automatically in an X11 session you can create a ~/.xsession file containing:
 # start the card autolock
 card_eventmgr pidfile=$HOME/.card_eventmgr.pid
 # start Gnome or something else
 /usr/bin/x-session-manager
 # kill the card autolock
 card_eventmgr kill pidfile=$HOME/.card_eventmgr.pid

BUGSSome applications like xscreensaver−command may fail due to external events (eg: try to unlock an unlocked session). In this case, the command incorrectly returns error code.
