Package: sleepd
Severity: wishlist
Once my machine starts suspending, I don't have a way to interrupt the
process. It would be nice if sleepd would provide a warning. My
suggestion is to provide a "warning command" option, something like
this:
--warn-command Command to run to run before putting the laptop
to sleep. Defaults to none (no warning).
I would probably use an audio icon like
play ~/sound/claves*.wav; sleep 15
or
beep; sleep 15
but I might flash the screen or popup a warning in a window if I knew
an easy way.
The idea would be to give myself enough time to do last-second
commands (save my document, send my email), kill sleepd (if I decide
to keep running as long as the battery lasts) or to re-connect the AC
power (if it had gotten disconnected by accident).
