[SOLVED] locking screen when my computer wakes w/ pm-suspend?

I am using XFCE with pm-utils for managing when I suspend the session.

I want a locker such as slimlock (or any other locker for that matter) initiated when my suspended session wakes.  How can this be done?

I have tried adding a line in my /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_foobar

case "${1}" in
    hibernate|suspend)
        ;;
    resume|thaw)
       slimlock
        ;;
esac

...no luck so far.

Re: [SOLVED] locking screen when my computer wakes w/ pm-suspend?

based on my fuzzy memory, here is how I did it. locked and sleep.

add

export DISPLAY=":0"

to /etc/acpi/handler.sh
after the line

set $*

and change your /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_foobar to something like

case "${1}" in
    hibernate|suspend)
        # The -b (background) option tells sudo to run the given command in the background.
        sudo -u corruptz0r -b slimlock
        ;;
    resume|thaw)

        ;;
esac
