Setting dpms in Awesome WM

Question

If I do the following from terminal, then the screen turns off after 10 seconds of inactivity, as I expect.

xset +dpms dpms 0 0 10

However, if I try to do the same from init.lua , then it does not work.

awful.spawn("xset +dpms dpms 0 0 10")

I even tried awful.spawn.with_shell() , but it still doesn't work.

Of course, I plan to use a higher timeout, but first I just want it to work.

Answer 1

用lua命令os.execute（）替换awful.spawn（）命令。
