[OCLUG-Tech] script to automate setting of screensaver

["Prof J C Nash (U30A)" <nashjc [ at ] uottawa [ dot ] ca>]

Has anyone used a script to set the screensaver rather than the 
interactive GUI? I'm using Mint, but other pointers welcome. I'm looking 
into a script to set up new machines e.g., when I visit colleagues and 
can have a VM, that would have the components and settings I like, and 
it would be nice to avoid having to set the screensaver and power 
settings, among others. Not anything vital, just useful if not to much 
work, and I could take a USB stick with iso and a script or two to do 
the setup unattended. (I suppose another way is to take a larger stick 
with the VM.)
