how to execute a command after resume from suspend?

I've got a script that is executed in order to have suspending/resuming working in my laptop. Then I have another series of xinput,xkbset and xmodmap commands that are executed when I initiate a session to have two-finger scrolling and keyboard shortcuts set up. When I resume from suspend, two-finger scrolling and my keyboard shortcuts won't work. I need to manually execute the commands in the second file again. How can I add those to the suspend/resume script to have this done automatically? See below:

          if [ ! -L "$DDIR/$dev" ]; then
            sleep $BIND_WAIT
          else
            break
          fi

touchpad two-finger scrolling and keyboard shortcuts script

xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Two-Finger Scrolling" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling" 8 1 1
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Pressure" 32 10
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Width" 32 8

xkbset exp =m
xmodmap -e "keycode 135 = Pointer_Button2"

Solution 1:

You can place your scripts in the /etc/pm/sleep.d directory to have them run after suspend. You will need to add a conditional to make your script run only during resume and not during the suspend process as well. For example, your touchpad script would look like:

case "${1}" in
    resume|thaw)
        DISPLAY=:0.0 ; export DISPLAY
        xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Two-Finger Scrolling" 8 1
        xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling" 8 1 1
        xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Pressure" 32 10
        xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Width" 32 8
        setxkbmap -layout gb
        xkbset m
        xkbset exp =m
        su $USER -c "sleep 3; /usr/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 135 = Pointer_Button2"" &
;;
esac

Be sure your script is marked globally executable and change $USER to the corresponding username.

You can find more detailed information in the pm-suspend manpage (man pm-suspend) or by looking at the documentation in /usr/share/doc/pm-utils (particularly /usr/share/doc/pm-utils/HOWTO.hooks.gz).

Solution 2:

On Ubuntu 16.04 I had to create service this way:

create file

sudo gedit /etc/systemd/system/somename.service

put inside

[Unit]
Description=Some description
Before=sleep.target
StopWhenUnneeded=yes

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStop=-/path/to/your/script.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target

enable service
```
sudo systemctl enable somename
```
(optional) if not working after resume from suspend > check for errors with
```
journalctl -u somename.service
```

Solution 3:

Open this file:

sudo vim /lib/systemd/system-sleep/hdparm

Contents:

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in 
  post)
    /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/95hdparm-apm resume
    ## Paste your command to run your script
    ;; esac

Your command will execute with admin privileges.
