Linux Terminal interface Screensavers 

In the knowledge of many Linux users, it is assumed that the Linux interface under the terminal is not screensavers, and that only screensavers are available under the graphical interface like Windows. But in fact, Linux is also a screensaver, but is an ASCII screensaver. The following is to introduce to you under the Linux screensaver tool termsaver.

The screensaver tool we use is called Termsaver. If you are using a Debian or Ubuntu operating system, you can download the installation directly using Apt-get install Termsaver, if you use another system that does not contain the package, such as Centos,redhat, then you can Termsaver.brunobraga.net download, according to the official website to install the installation procedure.

I'm using ubuntu14.04, so I just installed it directly using the Apt-get command:

# Apt-get Install Termsaver

After the installation is complete, you can use the following command to see which screensavers are available for the Termsaver tool:

# termsaver-h

Screens:

Good English, you can selectively look at the above each screensaver behind the resolution, I just described how to enable the screensaver, you can run the command termsaver [screensaver name] (the first column of the above command execution result is the screensaver name) to use screensavers, such as Termsaver clock, and then press Ctrl +c stop. Of course you can also get information about the specified screensaver by ordering termsaver [screensaver name]-H.

For example, execute:

# Termsaver Clock Screensaver

Of course you can also monitor the screensaver:

# Termsaver Sysmon
