In a different posting there a notification "performing a suspension job" was mentioned, however, I can't find that notification in my KDE system settings. I would like to use that notification to run user-defined script when suspend and waking up again, e.g. to stop and restart unison synchronisation. BTW: is there a better to do that?

I am using openSUSE 12.1 with KDE 4.8.3, so I am not completely sure if this is a packaging issue, or a KDE issue, or maybe, that notification just doesn't exist.

Ciao, Fabian

you should have this as I do and I am running the same

systemsettings -> application and system notifications -> manage notifications -> applications -> Notifications for KDE power management system ->

Yep, you are right - Probably, I just had some tomatoes on my eyes ... Thanks!
