sessiond-hooks - sessiond hook file format
- [Hook]
- Trigger=Lock|Idle|Sleep|Shutdown|Inactive
- InactiveSec=<seconds> (Inactive only)
- ExecStart=<command>
- ExecStop=<command> (Lock|Idle|Inactive only)
sessiond provides the ability to define hooks that are triggered by events. The “Inactive” event is unique to hooks. It allows commands to be run after a period of inactivity. It is more general than the “Idle” event, which occurs after IdleSec (see sessiond.conf(5)) seconds of inactivity.
Hooks can be specified in the configuration file using the section “[[Hook]]”. See sessiond.conf(5).
Hook files with the “.hook” suffix are read from XDG_CONFIG_HOME/sessiond/hooks.d or HOME/.config/sessiond/hooks.d.
