Yes, I think so. There could be a very small timing window until smscon starts up and does the job. Hackers which know what's going on could use the time to cancel locking. May be this risk, should it really exist, is only theoretical or so minor that it can be ignored.

Generally this to me sounds like a possible solution.

Yes, whereby smscon would only lock/unlock and try to notify the owner who is responsible to send further commands to start apps.

I don't understand why. Could you please explain?
-- OK, I got it. Because locking is turned of et all. Yes.
