PM is a simple power management script. It let you allow to suspend or lock your computer.

By default the script is executed when ACPI detect that the screen is closed.

Installation

If you want to fully install PM, proceed like this:

sudo ./install.sh all
pm -u

You will need to restart your ACPI daemon. If your using Systemd proceed like this:

sudo systemctl restart acpid

Please make sure to add the following line in your .xinitrc or .xprofile file:

pm -u

This command will initialize the current user which is logged if they are severals users.

All files are installed in /usr/local/etc/pm/.

###Disable Auto-Suspend on Systemd

If your using Systemd, the computer will be suspend when the computer screen is closed. For avoiding the management of that feature by Systemd you need to uncomment the line of HandleLidSwicth in the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf:

HandleLidSwicth=ignore
