lock

Tells whatever holds the password on this machine to wipe it, at once. The agent exits; the desktop app goes back to its Unlock screen, takes back what it put on the clipboard and closes quick search.

Terminal window
$ sefy lock
locked the agent and the window

It takes no password and no vault: you may well be walking away. With nothing holding a password it says so, and that is not an error, so it can go in a script that runs at the end of the day.

Terminal window
$ sefy lock
nothing was unlocked
  • agent - keep the vault unlocked for a while
  • status - whether it is locked
