Run a script as root fails (works otherwise)

[PurposeOfReason]

In my /etc/acpe/handlers.sh file I have it set so that when I close the lid it suspends and is locked with gnome screensaver with this

#!/bin/bash

sleep 1 &&
gnome-screensaver-command -l &&
sleep 3 &&
sudo pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios --quirk-s3-mode &&


But of course it doesn't work. If I run it as a normal user, it works. So I figured it was because acpi runs as root, so I ran the script as root and got:


** Message: Failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.


What would be wrong? I've tried the script with and without the sudo and it is set up for no password.

Take the sudo command out of the script and just run it as root.

I tried it again, no sudo, actually a whole new script with different permissions, still nothing.

Got it to work with xscreensaver so I'm not too bothered. But if someone could help me theme it with this, I'd be grateful. When I download the tar and apply the patch, it works but when I compile it says I don't have bc, which I obviously do because arch comes with it.

EDIT - Got past that, but there isn't a path for xscreensaver 5..05. Anyone know where an archive is so I can get an older version?
