enable/disable hibernate/suspend pygtk status icon

Category: pygtkerm @ 12:33 am

Every once in a while my machine runs stuff in the background, like backups, db dumps and whatnot. This obviously causes performance issues at times, but among other things I don’t want to shutdown during these processes.

So I created a simple status icon to warn me if one of those processes were executing so I wouldn’t shutdown the machine, and it also will disable hibernate/suspend.

I figure I’d share it with the world.

gobject.threads_init()

class DontShutdown:
    def __init__(self, conditions):
        self.suspend_enabled = False
        self.conditions = conditions
        self.icon = gtk.StatusIcon()
        self.icon.set_has_tooltip(True)
        self.icon.set_from_stock(gtk.STOCK_OK)
        self.icon.set_tooltip_text("This is a test")
        
        self.is_xdg = os.environ.has_key('XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP')
        self.XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP = ""
        self.INACTIVITY_ON_AC = -1
        self.ps_command = ["/bin/ps","-A","-o","cmd"]

        if self.is_xdg:
            self.XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP = os.environ['XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP'].lower()
        self.get_inactive()

        self.check_ps()
