Re: Resume from Suspend when triggered by Lid

That works. Thank you again.

I ended up writing a shell script since I've found in some cases the 
session may not be Session1. In the case currently on my laptop it's 
Session2.

#!/bin/sh
session=$(/usr/local/bin/ck-unlock-session)

/usr/local/bin/qdbus6 --system org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit 
/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/$session org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Session.Lock
