autopoweroff the threads that monitor keyboard and mouse activity terminate. When the keyboard or mouse is removed from the PC. When the keyboard and mouse is switched back the /dev/input/mouse1 file is created. So instead of terminating the thread we close the file wait for the /dev/input/mouse1 file which indicates the device have returned. So reopen the file and go back to monitoring for activity.

Greetings. In Autopoweroff 4.0.0, I have, I believe, fixed this. Please confirm in the related issue. The code in this pull request is not compatible anymore with the base code. But thanks for working with me! I really appreciated it.

I will try to test you code tomorrow. I think I can just cd / tar -zxf autopoweroff-4.0.0.0.gz file to install your code.

I tried to install your source and build a .deb file. But had trouble. No matter what I did I could not get it to create the packages/deb stuff.

Here is the code that I used to setup systemd.

command to start systemctl start autopoweroff command to stop systemctl stop autopoweroff

new directory /etc/systemy/system/multi-user.target.wants Filename = autopoweroff.service located in the new directory With the following contents.

[Unit] Description=autopoweroff daemon After=network.target

[Service] Type=simple User=root NotifyAccess=all PIDFile=/var/run/autopoweroffd/autopoweroffd.pid ExecStart=/usr/sbin/autopoweroffd start RemainAfterExit=true ExecStop=/usr/sbin/autopoweroffd stop ExecReload=/usr/sbin/autopoweroffd reload

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

You do not have to build yourself the binaries. .deb and .rpm are available for each release. The latest one can be found at: Release 4.0.0.

I quickly tried your recipe for systemd but it did not work. Obviously, something is missing. One day, I will work on systemd. Thank you!

Not sure if this is the problem. But the autopoweroff.service file is also in /etc/system/system directory.
Yes I don’t need to build the to test. But I do need to build if I want to fold my disk activity stuff
