Hi, folks. I'm trying to get my laptop screen to lock when the lid
closes, using x11/slock. I've created the file /etc/devd/lidlock.conf
with the following rule:
| notify 0 {
| match "system" "ACPI";
| match "subsystem" "Lid";
| match "notify" "0x00";
| action "/usr/local/bin/slock";
| };
This is really just a slight variation on the example from the
devd.conf(5) man page. Now when I close the lid, the screen fails to
lock, yet /var/log/messages displays the message "devd: Executing
'slock'". Any advice on what to look into to figure out why the program
is not actually executed? Thanks in advace.
