Re: [PLUG] Configuring *buntu 18.10 laptop behavior when lid is closed and no one logged in

["Burris, Gavin" <bug@wharton.upenn.edu>]

How about something like this?

Disable:
echo "HandleLidSwitch=ignore" |sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/logind.conf
sudo service systemd-logind restart

Enable:
sudo sed -i.bak 's/^\(HandleLidSwitch=\).*/\1suspend/' /etc/systemd/logind.conf
sudo service systemd-logind restart
