Ubuntu Rest Assurer

Before I'll start talking about this utility I would like to talk about the story behind the creation of this utility. Few days back we have a session ERGONOMICS about healthy lifestyle, one of the main thing was that a person should take a break after every 20 minutes. After the session I was having a chit chat about one of my colleague Rahul Narang & we were discussing about this 20:20:20 rule & then we thought about creating a utility that will force a person to leave his/her system after some stipulated time & that's how the idea came about this utility.

So what this utility does
1.) It runs after every half hour or configured amount of time
2.) Prompts a snoozer dialog box which will allow a person to snooze the screen locking for some amount of time
3.) After that a lunching video will run for 10 seconds
4.) Once a lunching video completes the screen gets locked for a configured amount of time
5.) If user try to unlock the system before configured amount of time the utility will lock the screen again

This complete utility is created using shell script only, we have used couple of command to do that
vlc : To run a launcher video
zenity : To prompt a snooze dialogue box
gnome-screensaver-command : To operate on screen lock
