The command "physlock -s" is a Linux command used to lock the physical console screen. Here is an explanation of each component of the command:
- "physlock" is the name of the command itself. It is a tool used to prevent access to the console screen.
- "-s" is an option or argument passed to the "physlock" command. In this case, it stands for "lock with a screensaver." This option activates a screensaver-like mode on the console screen, preventing unauthorized access.
By running this command, the physical console screen is locked and the screensaver-like mode is activated. This ensures that no one can view or interact with the console screen without a proper authentication or unlocking procedure.
