[debian]Not able to get the reboot/suspend script work.
Hi, I am trying to get the reboot/suspend script work from i3 control mode as follows. I have created a script called i3exit , and placed it in ~/bin/ directory, this directory is my PATH.
Here are the contents of the script.
#!/bin/sh
lock() {
i3lock
}
case "$1" in
lock)
i3lock -d -i /home/neo1691/.i3/i3lock_screen.png -n
;;
logout)
i3-msg exit
;;
suspend)
sudo pm-suspend
;;
hibernate)
sudo pm-hibernate
;;
reboot)
sudo reboot
;;
shutdown)
sudo halt
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {lock|logout|suspend|hibernate|reboot|shutdown}"
exit 2
esac
Next in .i3/config I have added these lines,
set $mode_system System (l) lock, (e) logout, (s) suspend, (h) hibernate, (r) reboot, (Shift+s) shutdown
mode "$mode_system" {
bindsym l exec --no-startup-id i3exit lock, mode "default"
bindsym e exec --no-startup-id i3exit logout, mode "default"
bindsym s exec --no-startup-id i3exit suspend, mode "default"
bindsym h exec --no-startup-id i3exit hibernate, mode "default"
bindsym r exec --no-startup-id i3exit reboot, mode "default"
bindsym Shift+s exec --no-startup-id i3exit shutdown, mode "default"
# back to normal: Enter or Escape
bindsym Return mode "default"
bindsym Escape mode "default"
}
bindsym $mod+Pause mode "$mode_system"
Now if I run i3exit suspend, then my laptop suspends properly. [After asking the password]. If I run i3exit lock, then my laptop gets locked, without asking for the password.
But when I press $mod+pause the control mod popups appears on the i3statusbar and if I press l (lock) nothing happens and the dialogue box disappears!
If I open up a terminal and echo $PATH, then my folder, ~/bin is seen there.
But if I run this specific command:
tr '\0' '\n' </proc/$(pidof i3)/environ | grep PATH then the $PATH doesn't have the concerned folder.
Also, will adding this line :
neo1691 ALL=(ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: /home/neo1691/bin/i3exit will stop asking passwords if I run i3exit. I just want to make sure of the syntax!
Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks
