[hackers] [PATCH] add option to run command after screen is locked

[Markus Teich]

---


Heyho,

I wrote a patch to support running arbitrary commands after slock has
succesfully locked the screen. Mainly this is useful for suspending the system
after it has been locked like `slock s2ram`. If there are no objections, I will
merge it upstream.
