Wishlist: Listen to Preparefor{Sleep|Shutdown} signals

[martin9959]

Wouldn't it be an idea to integrate a function to listen to these signals, in order to quit properly (before the network is going down) when the system is shutting down/going to sleep? This:

could probably be adapted, but I don't have enough python knowledge to do it.

I’m not sure I understand what you want to do. What are “these signals”, and what exactly do you mean by “close properly”? Do you want to make sure that all files get synched before your system shuts down?

[martin9959]

Yes, and the connection closed. By "these signals" and "close properly" I thought of these discussions:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/337853/how-can-i-trigger-a-systemd-unit-on-suspend-before-networking-is-shut-down

So my idea is that if syndicator (and unison) stop in time, I might still be able to unmount the (network-mounted) backup location before the network goes down.

I've never had any issues with unison being interrupted by a system shutdown, and I’m afraid I don’t have any time on my hands to implement the feature requested. I’ll leave this issue open -- if anyone wants to work on this, please go ahed.
