[Solved] Edit the target of buttons on xfce4-session-logout

Hi all.

Whenever I press the 'Hibernate' button on the Logout dialog the system hibernates fine; however on resuming I find that although the screen is locked, there is no screensaver. There is supposed to be, since I enabled the following code as a service:

[Unit]
Description=LightLocker
Before=sleep.target

[Service]
User=guajardo
Type=forking
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
ExecStart=/usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -lock

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target

This doesn't happen when I type 'systemctl hibernate' or 'xfce4-session-logout --hibernate' on a terminal. Is it possible to edit the target of the button "Hibernate" on the Logout dialog so as to execute the first one? I understand that pressing the button executes the second one.

Thanks!

Re: [Solved] Edit the target of buttons on xfce4-session-logout

Hello and welcome.

One way is to override the xfce4-session-logout executable. Create the file /usr/local/bin/xfce4-session-logout with the following content:

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
        "--hibernate")
                systemctl hibernate
        ;;
        *)
                /usr/bin/xfce4-session-logout "$1"
        ;;
esac

exit 0

...and make it executable. When Xfce executes xfce4-session-logout, this executable will run first (because the folder is earlier in your PATH) and will act differently if "--hibernate" is passed as a parameter. Otherwise it passes it on to the real xfce4-session-logout executable.

Thanks! Works perfectly! Many kudos to you.
