Lock or sleep the machine at the end of the day

Goal. One phrase ends the day: windows saved, sound off, screen locked or machine asleep.

aos system --help

Commands

aos window save ~/.config/aos/layouts/today.json
aos audio mute on
aos system lock

Or sleep instead of lock:

aos system sleep

The rest of the group, for completeness:

aos system logout
aos system restart
aos system shutdown

aos lock is an alias for aos system lock.

What to tell an agent

I’m done for the day. Save my window layout, mute, and lock the screen.

Gotchas

• restart and shutdown are not undoable. An agent should confirm before running them. There is no built-in prompt, because an agent would answer it.
• lock and logout need a logged-in desktop session. On a headless box they refuse with a reason.
• Sleep ends any running share or recording. Stop remote share and capture video first.
