Suspend on closing lid?

[Member wean_irdeh]

Right now after closing the lid, the laptop will be locked on opening the lid.
Is it possible to make the laptop suspend instead of lock it?
If possible also please post the command for suspend and lock the laptop
Thanks

Ah I’ve found the command to suspend and lock the screen.
To suspend the laptop: pm-suspend
To lock the screen: xlock
But the question remain on how to suspend the laptop after closing the lid..

This is what i did to make my laptop shutdown, when closing the lid.

Created a folder in etc/acpi called actions

mkdir -p /etc/acpi/actions

in this folder created a file called lid.sh

etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh

with the following script

#!/bin/bash
echo "$1" | grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state && exit 0
sleep 2
/sbin/poweroff -f

Made the script executable

chmod +x /etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh

Then I changed the file etc/acpi/events/lidbtn to this

# /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn
# Called when the user closes or opens the lid

#old
#event=button[ /]lid
#action=/etc/acpi/lid.sh

#new
event=button/lid
action=/etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh %e

Rebooted.

To make your laptop suspend when closing the lid you have to change the last line from the script etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh

from /sbin/poweroff -f
to

/usr/sbin/pm-suspend

BUT I’m not sure, if this is the most expedient and easiest way to do this on antiX.
Maybe you wait for another suggestion, anyway for me it works.

Ah thanks, editing /etc/default/acpi-support and removing hash (#) from #LID_SLEEP=true works for me! I can even disable lock screen by adding hash (#) in LOCK_SCREEN=true
Thanks a lot

And thanks to caprea for trying to help me
