[systemd-devel] systemd IdleAction for lock is not working

[seshu pyla]

Hi,



I am trying the below logind parameters to configure session lock in my
system.



/etc/systemd/logind.conf

IdleAction=Lock

IdleActionSec=1min



But, with above configurations there is no effect, so I have looked in to
the code and after the below change the lock event is sent and session lock
is happening successfully.

--- a/src/login/logind.c

+++ b/src/login/logind.c

m->idle_action_not_before_usec + m->idle_action_usec)) {

                         log_info("System idle. Taking action.");

false);

+                        manager_handle_action(m, 0, m->idle_action, false,
true);

                         m->idle_action_not_before_usec = n;

                 }



Is there any specific reason the “Lock” action is not handling in systemd?



Is there any plan in future if the “Lock” action is handled in system?





Thanks,

Venkata.
