Good point! Of late I've been working on single-user systems, so it was not at the front of my brain, despite years of building and using multi-user systems. It's a point that multi-user systems have struggled with forever (when somebody inserts a CR in the drive mounted in the system box, which user do you pop up a media player for?). sed s/user X's screensaver/suspend to disk/g <<EOF I tend to think it's not a kernel-vs-user-space issue, though. To solve it you need, somewhere, a notion of a "user session" and you need some way to separate system-level issues (like low-battery) from user-level issues (like activiating user X's screensaver).
