shutdown script for awesome wm

Veljac · 2010-12-25 19:54:21

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

    ;;
  LockScreen)
    slock
    ;;
  esac
fi

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

i tried editing policykit.conf but /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf give that /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf: No such file or directory
but policykit but policykit is instaled.

i delited dbus-send --system --print-reply \
--dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit \
/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager \
org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop

and putt xterm -e sudo shutdown -h now and this works

ttouch · 2012-12-27 08:50:56

you could gksudo shutdown -h now to avoid the xterm

Into the Pit · 2012-12-27 09:19:39

you could also use systemd for that.

Meh, did not see the date of the Thread …

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

gulafaran · 2012-12-27 16:01:19

start x properly so you get a proper session https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ge … ermissions , then just do shutdown -h now . no need for sudo or anything similiar

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.
