# README for logout-manager
## Introduction
Logout Manager is a python3 utility that provides a simple menu for logout-type actions. The supported actions are presented:
* Lock
* Logout
* Hibernate (if supported by hardware)
* Shutdown
* Reboot
## Alternatives
[oblogout](https://launchpad.net/oblogout) looks really old so I did not investigate personally, but it sounds like it does the same thing I am trying to do.
`apt-cache search logout` shows [lxsession-logout](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/lxsession-logout.1.html) which was compiled, as well as does not provide configurable options for changing executed commands or icons.
## License

## Description
This project is partially a programming playground for the [original author](https://bgstack15.wordpress.com) and partially a useful project for his migration to [Fluxbox](http://fluxbox.org/) on the desktop.
## Upsides
* This project is the first to [demonstrate SVG images in tkinter in python3](https://bgstack15.wordpress.com/2019/07/13/display-svg-in-tkinter-python3/) that I could find on the Internet.
* I have learned how to work with ncurses, gtk, and tcl in python3.
* This will make Fluxbox systems easier to use for general users.
## Downsides
This whole thing is more complex than just logging out of my user session, and selecting a logout-type action from the display manager.
## Improve
* add makefile
* add the standard 'list' option
* add a `list_dependencies` option or similar, which does the grep command
grep -h -A5 -riIE dependencies * | awk 'tolower($0) ~ /devuan/ {$1="";$2="";print}' | sort | uniq | xargs
* add logout-manager-cli.py
* add debian/ dir
* and dsc file
