Hi,

I liked the idea of systemd when I first saw it, but after doing a few conversions I have some small issues. I run arch linux with slim & openbox and that seems to be fully supported so far as I can tell.

However, on my netbooks I like to use the power button to launch oblogout which brings up a bunch of buttons that allow me to logout/suspend/restart/halt etc etc. I can of course continue to use acpid to handle the power button, but that seems opposed to the spirit of systemd.

Is there a way to divert HandlePowerKey to a script of my choosing? I could imagine that an option starting with a / character could be used to distinguish such a command from one of the standard logind.conf values, but that's obviously not implemented. Even if it was does systemd allow me to configure oblogout properly ie check for the conditions no-session, tty-session, any-session? Shell scripts might be a bit slower at boot, but they allow for possibilities that were not thought of at design time.

Of course I would also like to treat the lid switch in a different way to what systemd proposes, surely it's obvious that some might like to hibernate or power off rather than suspend if the lid is closed?
