Daemon that kills X sessions
Project description
py-xkiller
A daemon that is intended for use in a “No X sessions” challenge.
Essentially, every so often, the daemon:
Checks if the system time is past the time stored at http://time.kaashif.co.uk/end
If it is, quit - the challenge is over
Checks if there are any daemons with the binary name “X” or “Xorg” and kills them.
Installing
$ pip3 install xkiller
Running
$ xkiller
(it will daemonize itself)
You may want to run it as root, so it can actually kill sessions started by display managers etc.
If run as root, /var/run/xkiller.pid will be the PIDfile, if not, /tmp/xkiller.pid is the PIDfile. Also, you can specify a PIDfile like so:
$ xkiller /home/kaashif/mypidfile.pid
