SOLVED:Questions about obsession

mimas,

I started to compile obsession for JWM again, but then realized I had not changed the "OpenBox" string to "JWM". So, I started reading through the source files. In obsession.h is this section:


--- Code: ---enum {
        NONE = 0,
        UPOWER,
        CONSOLEKIT,
        SYSTEMD,
        GDM,
        KDM,
        LIGHTDM,
        LXDM
};
--- Fin du code ---

Can JWM be added? I'm not sure it will make any difference. Here's why. I looked at obsession-logout.c and saw this section:


--- Code: ---/* Handler for "clicked" signal on Logout button. */
static void logout_clicked(GtkButton * button, HandlerContext * handler_context)
{
/* kill(handler_context->lxsession_pid, SIGTERM); */
g_spawn_command_line_async("openbox --exit", NULL);
gtk_main_quit();
}
--- Fin du code ---

It's why the Logout function doesn't work in JWM. The function sends a SIGTERM to lxsession, but the process is not running. From what I can see, the only display manager functions running with SLIM/JWM are:

/usr/bin/slim -d (as root) and
x-session-manager (as normal user).

Logout is handled in the .jwmrc (XML file) with the function:

<Exit label="Logout" confirm="false">

Reboot and Shutdown I'm doing with ConsoleKit. Can obsession be modified for JWM?

Don't add JWM here, it's an enumeration used to dispatch the "power" commands and the login manager commands.

> g_spawn_command_line_async("openbox --exit", NULL);

Nice catch! I absolutely forgot this part. This executes the openbox --exit command and quit the current Openbox session. The previous line is not executed (it's commented), it's from lxsession which stay in memory.. Sending a SIGTERM to lxsession process quit the session.

Replace the "openbox --exit" by "jwm -exit", it should work.

I have planed to add configuration support in obsession. Something like that

--- Code: ---[Config]
SessionExitCmd=jwm -exit
ScreenLockCmd=xlock

Well, that's a CS intro course. I programmed for years. Just haven't written any code in quite a while. And there's not much call for PAL-8 assembly language coders any more. I'm learning Perl, so I'll eventually bridge from there into C.
