Heyho,
these kind of features should not be included in slock,
since:
* They can easily be achieved by a simple wrapper script
as already mentioned.
* More code => more bugs and greater attack surface =>
not good for security.

The timer support should not be added. However,
temporary removal of the terminate-option is
important and should be added. But it should be
added as a wrapper script, so that everyone who
uses slock does not need to write their own wrapper.
That is what I am looking for. BINGO!
