I have a Mac and I use an application called TokenLock that uses my iPod's Bluetooth signal to lock/unlock my computer when I get near/too far from it. Is there something like that for Ubuntu?

          BlueProximity is an application that lets you automatically lock / unlock your (Linux) computer using a bluetooth device such as a mobile phone.BlueProximity



          To install, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:



          sudo apt-get install blueproximity


          Or you can download it from here



          enter image description here



          You can also try Proximity.



          Proximity monitors the proximity of your mobile phone or other bluetooth device and executes custom AppleScripts when the device goes out of range or comes into range of your computer. Purpose The intent of this project is for the source code to be critiqued by other developers in hopes of improving my Cocoa programming abilities, as well as my programming skills in general.Proximity
