# NAME
swayidle - Idle manager for Wayland
# SYNOPSIS
*swayidle* [options] [events...]
# OPTIONS
*-C* <path>
The config file to use. By default, the following paths are checked in the following order: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/swayidle/config, $HOME/swayidle/config
Config file entries are events as described in the EVENTS section.
Specifying events in the config and as arguments is not mutually exclusive.
*-h*
Show help message and quit.
*-d*
Enable debug output.
*-w*
Wait for command to finish executing before continuing, helpful for ensuring
that a *before-sleep* command has finished before the system goes to sleep.
Note: using this option causes swayidle to block until the command finishes.
*-S* <seat-name>
Specify which seat to use. By default, if no name is specified, an arbitrary seat will be picked instead.
# DESCRIPTION
swayidle listens for idle activity on your Wayland compositor and executes tasks
on various idle-related events. You can specify any number of events at the
command line and in the config file.
# EVENTS
*timeout* <timeout> <timeout command> [resume <resume command>]
Execute _timeout command_ if there is no activity for <timeout> seconds.
If you specify "resume <resume command>", _resume command_ will be run when
there is activity again.
*before-sleep* <command>
If built with systemd support, executes _command_ before systemd puts the
computer to sleep.
Note: this only delays sleeping up to the limit set in *logind.conf(5)* by
the option InhibitDelayMaxSec. A command that has not finished by then will
continue running after resuming from sleep.
*after-resume* <command>
If built with systemd support, executes _command_ after logind signals that the
computer resumed from sleep.
*lock* <command>
If built with systemd support, executes _command_ when logind signals that the
session should be locked
*unlock* <command>
If built with systemd support, executes _command_ when logind signals that the
session should be unlocked
*idlehint* <timeout>
If built with systemd support, set IdleHint to indicate an idle logind/elogind
session after <timeout> seconds. Adding an idlehint event will also cause
swayidle to call SetIdleHint(false) when run, on resume, unlock, etc.
All commands are executed in a shell.
# SIGNALS
swayidle responds to the following signals:
*SIGTERM, SIGINT*
Run all pending resume commands. When finished swayidle will terminate.
*SIGUSR1*
Immediately enter idle state.
# EXAMPLE
```
swayidle -w \\
timeout 300 'swaylock -f -c 000000' \\
timeout 600 'swaymsg "output * dpms off"' \\
resume 'swaymsg "output * dpms on"' \\
before-sleep 'swaylock -f -c 000000'
```
This will lock your screen after 300 seconds of inactivity, then turn off your
displays after another 300 seconds, and turn your screens back on when resumed.
It will also lock your screen before your computer goes to sleep.
To make sure swayidle waits for swaylock to lock the screen before it releases the
inhibition lock, the *-w* options is used in swayidle, and *-f* in swaylock.
