Apologise for the earlier typo.

Had contacted Prof. Liu, the maintainer of xautolock. He informed:
[quote]...  Please have a look at the -locker option of xautolock. I used it
before to run a custom script. I don't use xautolock nowadays ...[quote]

I found the tiny post of prosoitos [contact: @WestGrid @ComputeCanada]
[quote]...  You can put this: xautolock -time 5 -locker "notify-send
'a'" & in your .xinitrc file or similar ...[/quote] in superuser,
stackexchange.

Unfortunately, don't have a twitter or superuser account. Otherwise,
would have contacted propositos.

I created a folder and in it the ssvr script and another, activate.sh.
Within the latter, the line: ./ssvr.sh ssvr.sh

Program running, but screensaving not initiated after inactivity.
Codeline:
[code] xautolock -time 1 -locker ./activate.sh [/code]
