[i3]Not able to get the reboot/suspend script work.

[Anubhav Yadav <anubhav1691@gmail.com>]

Hi, I am using debian 64 bit. I use lightdm to start i3. I am trying
to get the reboot/suspend script work from i3 control mode as follows.
I have created a script called i3exit , and placed it in ~/bin/
directory, this directory is my PATH.

Here are the contents of the script.

    #!/bin/sh
    lock() {
        i3lock
    }

    case "$1" in
        lock)
            i3lock -d -i /home/neo1691/.i3/i3lock_screen.png -n
            ;;
        logout)
            i3-msg exit
            ;;
        suspend)
            sudo pm-suspend
            ;;
        hibernate)
            sudo pm-hibernate
            ;;
        reboot)
            sudo reboot
            ;;
        shutdown)
            sudo halt
            ;;
        *)
            echo "Usage: $0 {lock|logout|suspend|hibernate|reboot|shutdown}"
            exit 2Not able to get the reboot/suspend script work.
    esac

Next in .i3/config I have added these lines,

 set $mode_system System (l) lock, (e) logout, (s) suspend, (h)
hibernate, (r) reboot, (Shift+s) shutdown
mode "$mode_system" {
    bindsym l exec --no-startup-id i3exit lock, mode "default"
    bindsym e exec --no-startup-id i3exit logout, mode "default"
    bindsym s exec --no-startup-id i3exit suspend, mode "default"
    bindsym h exec --no-startup-id i3exit hibernate, mode "default"
    bindsym r exec --no-startup-id i3exit reboot, mode "default"
    bindsym Shift+s exec --no-startup-id i3exit shutdown, mode "default"

    # back to normal: Enter or Escape
         bindsym Return mode "default"
             bindsym Escape mode "default"
             }
             bindsym $mod+Pause mode "$mode_system"


Now if I run i3exit suspend, then my laptop suspends properly. [After
asking the password]. If I run i3exit lock, then my laptop gets
locked, without asking for the password.

But when I press $mod+pause the control mod popups appears on the
i3statusbar and if I press l (lock) nothing happens and the dialogue
box disappears!

If I open up a terminal and `echo $PATH`, then my folder, ~/bin is seen there.
But if I run this specific command:
 `tr '\0' '\n' </proc/$(pidof i3)/environ | grep PATH` then the $PATH
doesn't have the concerned folder.

Also, will adding this line :
`neo1691 ALL=(ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: /home/neo1691/bin/i3exit` will stop
asking passwords if I run i3exit. I just want to make sure of the
syntax!

Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks
