# swayidle-ctrl
This Go application allows you to enable or disable the swayidle service.
It would also be possible to do it directly with systemctl...
## Features
- stop / start the swayidle service.
## Usage
This application can be run from the command line. Here's how:
```txt
swayidle-ctrl [-on|-off]
Arguments:
-on (default: false): Enables screen lock and display timeout functionalities.
-off (default: false): Disables screen lock and display timeout functionalities.
```
### Examples
Enable screen lock and display timeout:
``` bash
swayidle-ctrl -on
```
Disable screen lock and display timeout:
```bash
swayidle-ctrl -off
```
## Installation
1. Download the source code or clone the repository (if applicable).
2. Run `go build` to create the executable file (`swayidle-ctrl`).
3. Place the executable in a directory accessible from your PATH environment variable.
**Alternatively, you can run the application directly from the source code using `go run main.go`.**
### Additional Notes
- This application uses `sh -c` to execute the swayidle command. You might need to adjust this based on your specific setup.
- The application terminates any existing `swayidle` process before starting a new one. This ensures you don't have multiple instances running concurrently.
- Consider adding support for additional swayidle functionalities or configuration options in future versions.
