[SOLVED]Kill tint2 before suspend, bring it back after resume...

NetworkManager Applet does this annoying thing with tint2 that when I suspend and resume, the systray grows with empty space. I need to do a proper bug report, but first I want to just kill tint2 on suspend and launch it again on resume, so I created /etc/pm/sleep.d/99tint2

#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
   hibernate)
       killall tint2
       ;;
   suspend)
       killall tint2
       ;;
   thaw)
       su rob -c tint2
       ;;
   resume)
       su rob -c tint2
       ;;
   *)
       ;;
esac

Then I chmod +x it and it almost works.

It kills tint2 when I suspend, but it doesn't bring it back on resume.

It kills tint2 when I suspend, but it doesn't bring it back on resume.

Try using 'su rob -c "env DISPLAY=:0 tint2" ' instead

Excellent!

Why is it that I need to set the Display variable?

Because its not being run from inside X. Try running a gui app from a tty and it'll need the same thing.

I had the same problem.
Based on your script and the issue thread ( http://code.google.com/p/tint2/issues/detail?id=343 ) I did this:

#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
   hibernate|suspend)
       ;;
   thaw|resume)
       sleep 3 && killall -SIGUSR1 tint2
       ;;
   *)
       ;;
esac
