[systemd-devel] [PATCH 0/6] Add 'lock' action for hardware buttons

[Ben Boeckel]

Hi,

I was surprised to find that my laptops were suspending when the lid was
closed after updating to Fedora 18 since I find it a misfeature of power
management defaults and it's one of the first things to go on new
machines. I much prefer locking the session instead since I leave my
machines doing work, but like to also have them be unobtrusive when on
my desk.

This series of patches add a 'lock' target which runs `loginctl
lock-sessions` and wires it up to a new option for the button. I also
added inhibit logic, though this might make less sense at a system
level. At the user level, it'd be perfect for media players and the
like.

The code hasn't been tested beyond a build and making sure that the new
files appear in the install. I have yet to write a simple Python DBus
listener to trigger the locker that I use (xlockmore), so I don't
(currently) have my setup available to test.

Feedback greatly appreciated.
