Hi, I am using debian 64 bit. I use lightdm to start i3. 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 2Not able to get the reboot/suspend script work. 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.
