26. logout menu options

Tip: The commands provided can also be attached to keybinds.

The ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml file can be edited in order to provide a sub-menu with the same options as provided by oblogout. The sample script below will provide all of these options, with the exception of the ability to lock the screen:

<menu id="exit-menu" label="Exit">

          <item label="Log Out">

                   <action name="Execute">

                             <command>openbox --exit</command>

                   </action>

          </item>

          <item label="Shutdown">

                   <action name="Execute">

                             <command>systemctl poweroff</command>

                   </action>

          </item>

          <item label="Restart">

                   <action name="Execute">

                           <command>systemctl reboot</command>

                   </action>

          </item>

          <item label="Suspend">

                   <action name="Execute">

                           <command>systemctl suspend</command>

                   </action>

          </item>

          <item label="Hibernate">

                   <action name="Execute">

                           <command>systemctl hibernate</command>

                   </action>

          </item>

</menu>

Once the entries have been composed, add the following line to present the sub-menu where desired within the main desktop menu (usually as the last entry):

<menu id="exit-menu"/>
