Hello everyone,
i would like to write a little script, that suspends my computer if a few circumstances are met.
One should be, that my screen should be blanked. I already did a google search on this, but i only found howtos of getting it to work / disable it.
It looks like xset q does not print the actual state. Maybe there is a hook for screen blanking?
I know this is not a arch specific question, but maybe someone can help me.

I don't actually have a script for this, although I may end up writing one because I want similar functionality (just after xx minutes, suspend, not on screen blank). But, what you can do is install xscreensaver. xscreensaver-command -watch can be used to monitor the screen saver state (which may be just blank your desktop) and thus control the script. -- Alexander Lam
