Save a command to launch after unlock about i3lock HOT 6 CLOSED

I uses non-forking with a trap:

trap "…" EXIT

Seems to work fine for me. Why do you fork if you want to wait anyway?

Hey Airblader,
thank's for your quick reply.

I know I can watch the PID and launch my command after, it works I did it in my wrapper script,
but it break the suspend.

So maybe I miss something, but I think forking is needed to let the suspend work.

I think you should explain how you are running that script so that we get a bit more context.

Hello @stapelberg , yes this is how I do

I created a systemd service, like explained in the debian / arch wiki here: https://wiki.debian.org/ScreenLockingOnSleep and here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1170536#p1170536

[Unit]
Description=i3lock
Before=sleep.target

[Service]
User=username
Type=forking
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
ExecStart=/usr/bin/i3lock -d -e -f -c 000000

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target

Then enable it, in systemd and you go, you have to unlock after come back from suspend, witch is want we want.

But I am searching a way to trigger on the 'unlock event' witch basically is end of the pid of i3lock to launch some command on unlock, here deactivate DPMS of my screen, but could be useful for many things.

So if I have done a script witch poll the pid of a running i3lock to check it, it work for locking only but it didn't work for locking + suspending (in my test at least), so I would like to embed the call to a script in i3lock.

@GuillaumeSeren I think what you should do (based on what you describe you want) is create a service file with After=sleep.target, see also https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151640

There’s nothing we need to change in i3lock for your use case.

@stapelberg Yes I think too but I was just asking to know if you get a better solution.
