Solved Slim sesession stop cmd

[petru garstea]

Greetings,

Slim configuration has an option something sessionstop_cmd

I'm trying to stop slim service slim stop with this option when a user is logged out from the window manager environment.

I guess this is not possible because the user doesn't have the permission.

Perhaps anyone can enlighten me with another method on how to achieve that goal.

Thanks in advance

The display manager (SLiM in your case) runs as root.

Perhaps anyone can enlighten me with another method on how to achieve that goal.

Might be an XY problem here, but what exactly is the problem you're trying to solve?

Greetings SirDice,

I use slim as

"jumpbox"

to get into enlightenment login window.

when I logout I enter into slim login window and I would like to be attached to tty0 right after.

Please let me know whether it makes sense.

Regards

Then don't run SLiM or any other display manager and simply use startx after logging in. When you exit X you'll get dropped back to the console.

I wish to get the UI when turning on the computer, trying to avoid login via terminal(vt console)

 

[SirDice]

CTRL-ALT-F2 to F7 are also an option.

CTRL-ALT-F2 to F7 are also an option.

I have already evaluated that option.

I forgot to mention that I am trying to build an UI to our users where I have to exclude in enlightenment WM the hibernate(not supported in FBSD) option and also when a user is logging out from X session he gets tty0 console

I was able to get the expected behavior by modifying the .xinitrc file as follow

trap 'doas service slim stop' SIGQUIT SIGINT SIGTERM SIGKILL SIGHUP EXIT
exec /usr/local/bin/enlightenment_start &
wait

thanks
