Hello community!
I need to achieve the following:
A systemd unit that fires ONLY when user first logs in (not when bootup
complete, so rc.local does not achieve what I want)
And, related need, I want to be able to determine if a particular VM is already
running.
What I want to achieve:
sequential VM startup that does not rely on "start automatically" facilities of
Qubes R3.2, that only fires after user logs in, and then starts a shell script that does
the following:
1) check if a particular autostarty VM is already running (timeout and
self-terminate with error if it is not running for 30 seconds after login)
2) when the VM is detected as running start VM2
3) wait for it to start, re-check for its running status (as in point 1)
4) start VM 3
If you are using lightdm you might look at the "session-setup-script"
setting and see if it can handle what you want. I have mine prompting
the user with a simple zenity dialog at logon, but yours is a bit more
complicated, so your mileage my vary significantly. Mine appears to
block processing to wait for a user action but yours could take a
significant amount of time during VM start up, but it may be acceptable
in your specific usec-ase.
