- Type at 100+ words per
minutehour - Innovative SIGTERM-based concurrency control. Semaphores who??

Clone this repository and copy files into /etc/acpi
git clone git@github.com:veggiedefender/open-and-shut.git
sudo cp morse_code_close.sh morse_code_open.sh morse_code_acpi.sh /etc/acpi/
Acpid needs to know how and when to run our scripts. Create a file /etc/acpi/events/lm_lid
with the following contents:
event=button/lid.*
action=/etc/acpi/morse_code_acpi.sh
Temporarily: Run systemd-inhibit --what=handle-lid-switch cat
and press Ctrl+C when you're done.
Permanently: Add HandleLidSwitch=ignore
to /etc/systemd/logind.conf
and either run sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind.service
(this will log you out), or reboot your computer.
