shutdown script for awesome wm

I`m writing a shutdown script for my awesome wm.
it looks like this

[c!/bin/bash

ACTION=`zenity --width=90 --height=200 --list --radiolist --text="Select logout action" --title="Logout" --column "Choice" --column "Action" TRUE Shutdown FALSE Reboot FALSE LockScreen FALSE Suspend`

if [ -n "${ACTION}" ];then
  case $ACTION in
  Shutdown)
    #zenity --question --text "Are you sure you want to halt?" &&
    dbus-send --system --print-reply \
    --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit \
    /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager \
    org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
    ;;
  Reboot)
    #zenity --question --text "Are you sure you want to reboot?" && gksudo reboot
    dbus-send --system --print-reply \
    --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit \
    /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager \
    org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart
    ;;
  Suspend)
    #gksudo pm-suspend
    dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \
    /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
    org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0

    ;;

Re: shutdown script for awesome wm

You don't have to use the deprecated hal! Here are my scripts which I use(d). All you need is

exec ck-launch-session awesome

in your .xinitrc.

shutdown

#!/bin/bash
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop

reboot

#!/bin/bash
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart

hibernate

#!/bin/bash
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power" /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Hibernate

and suspend

#!/bin/bash
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power" /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Suspend

Re: shutdown script for awesome wm

Re: shutdown script for awesome wm

oops... didn't see that either
Is there a way to suspend without asking for a pass?

Re: shutdown script for awesome wm

ttouch, I am sure in the last 2 years since the last post in this thread, the op figured it out. Infact he mentions it that it works in his last post. Please do not necrobump.
