Hi
I try write script whose have check if laptop is discharged or charged and matches right xautolock options.
If xautolock is running, i want kill him and run again.

But i have a trouble.

This is my script:

check(){
if grep -Fxq "Discharging" /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status;
then
	echo "BATTERY!" && xautolock -time 10 -locker "systemctl suspend" &
else 
	echo "AC POWER!" && xautolock -time 30 -locker "systemctl suspend" &
fi
}
#function kill xautolock process if found him, if not run check function
kill_xautolock(){

	if [ -n "$(pidof xautolock)" ]
	then 
		killall xautolock && check
	else 
		check
	fi
}
while true; do
kill_xautolock
sleep 10
done

I can't kill xautolock by no means. This way not working.

Can anybody help me, because I thinking about it whole day and i don't know what is wrong.

Why don't you try "xautolock -exit"? Also you kill xautlock every 10 seconds and then restart it, you should kill it only when the discharging status changes.

This is the point. xautolock don't want be dead with killall command, and even by -exit option... This is what i can't fix.

And you're right i should kill it only when dischargins changed, but i haven't idea how do this...
