Both /etc/rc.suspend and /etc/rc.resume is called by devd(8). If needed
one can write own hooks for devd(8) on lid close/open.

Hi vermaden,
thanks for getting in touch! I suggest we post this to the mailing list,
so the others can see this as well.
For the moment, that's the canonical way for providing inputs and feedback
to the Foundation's laptop and project roadmap.
We will have another LDWG call tomorrow - I hope to raise this tomorrow as
well.
Thank you!
chris

Subject: FreeBSD Laptop/Desktop Group - Lid Close Command/Action
Hi,
I wanted to create Lid Close Command/Action issue but seems that I do not have
needed permissions.
Could You create one? I thinks this would be useful. Thanks.
Issue Title: Lid Close Command/Action
Issue Description:
Hi,
we know that we can configure FreeBSD to put system into sleep by closing the
lid with `hw.acpi.lid_switch_state` being set to `S3` ... but that will only
suspend the system
- it will not LOCK it.
```
% sysctl -d -n hw.acpi.lid_switch_state
Lid ACPI sleep state. Set to S3 if you want to suspend your laptop when close
the Lid.
```
As described here:
- https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@lily@duke.social/114264333623026887
My current workaround solution is:
1. Use `[WIN]+[L]` shortcut for lock:
- https://github.com/vermaden/scripts/blob/master/__openbox_lock.sh
2. Use `[CTRL]+[WIN]+[ALT]+[L]` shortcut for lock and suspend:
- https://github.com/vermaden/scripts/blob/master/__openbox_lock_zzz.sh
Now - my proposal - as we already have `/etc/rc.suspend` and `/etc/rc.resume
files` - I would add `/etc/rc.lidclose` file that will be executed when lid is
closed and
`/etc/rc.lidopen` when someone opens the lid.
It can be also done via `sysctl(8)` like `hw.acpi.lid_command` for example ...
just a rough idea to solve the problem.
If for some reason its already covered by other issue - please close - thanks.
Regards,
vermaden
