Since my other computer is a datacenter, and my laptop is just a glorified vt100, I figured how to autosuspend it when it's idle for some time.
I already at xidle(1) in my .xsession to start xlock(1). I then discovered -startCmd in xlock(1). I know have this: $ cat xlock_zzz #! /bin/sh exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock -startCmd "/bin/sleep 300 && /usr/sbin/zzz" and this in my .xsession: xidle -program /home/florian/bin/xlock_zzz -timeout 300 & So after 5 minutes xidle starts xlock and 5 minutes after that my laptop autosuspends. If I unlock the laptop before 5 minutes expire the sleep gets killed and the laptop doesn't suspend. -- I'm not entirely sure you are real.
