is it possible to run a shell script when button is pressed even the screen is locked?

now i achive this goal mapping a key shortcut but it does not run when screen is locked

Well, the whole idea of running a screen lock is to prevent unauthorized access which includes executing programs. I don't think there is an easy way to achieve this.

well, you are right... ok thank you!
