1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I only hate it because I can't figure out how to run a blocking script before everything else when a suspend is initiated.

    [–] seaQueue 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Do scripts in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/ not block? I've never had one fail to complete before suspend. I had to use one last year to dump debug stats before and after sleep while we were helping debug Cezanne sleep issues.

    I guess not because in my attempts to get this working I did put a script there. Does * expansion not work in these scripts? Mind sharing your script if you still have one? I have 3 tabs open to learn systemd when I have time, I did watch a video so far :)

    I'll have to dig them up the next time I fire up the laptop I used them on, I'll also look and see if I shoved them into a git repo.

    There's some discussion here on the Arch forum that should be able to get you rolling though: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=276046

    That should show you the general form those scripts need to take. I only had to use pre/post sleep ($1), I never needed $2 granularity.

    I'll check it out, thanks bro!
