session-worker: don't kill process group before running PostSession (2.85 KB, patch)
2018-03-05 13:20 UTC, Ray Strode [halfline] 		none Details | Review

Description Jan Wenzel 2018-03-05 11:03:59 UTC 
PostSession/Default is not run if the session is ended by shutdown or reboot. 

It only gets run when doing a logout.

To reproduce, write the following content to /etc/gdm3/PostSession/Default

#!/bin/sh
touch /var/log/gdm-postsession-timestamp
exit 0

When shutting down or rebooting, the file is not touched.
When logging out, it is touched.

I have tested this on Ubuntu xenial with GDM 3.18.3 and Fedora 27 with GDM 3.26.2.

The patch from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621581 does not work.
The patch from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681888 does not work.

session-worker: don't kill process group before running PostSession

killing the process group leads to the worker getting terminated,
so defer that until after running the PostSession script.
Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2018-03-05 13:20:25 UTC 
can you give this patch a try ^ ?
Comment 3 Jan Wenzel 2018-03-05 14:25:50 UTC 
doesn't apply with gdm 3.18.3

tested with gdm 3.26.2

/etc/gdm3/PostSession/Default is still not executed on reboot/shutdown...
