I'm using Slackware 13 on my notebook, and I'm using pm-suspend to have a faster boot up. I'd like to have it run xlock after bringing it back from suspend, is it possible?

Try placing an executable script in /etc/acpi/resume.d: 91-xlock.sh:

#!/bin/sh
DISPLAY=":0" su -c your-user-name xlock

Also, you can try creating a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d that will create xlock-launcher that executes once, at boot. Cheers!

Careful, that script will probably run as root, which means xlock will run as root as well (meaning you need the root password to unlock). – Heath Oct 27 '09 at 22:56
What can I do to have it run as user? – bullettime Oct 29 '09 at 2:16
I've edited my responce so now it meets Health's remark :) – o_O Tync Oct 29 '09 at 4:11

You can also try a script like this that you call for suspend:

#!/bin/sh
xlock&
sleep 3
sudo pm-suspend
