Simple command on wake from suspend
I am using Kubuntu 18.10 and I would like to run a simple script every time a computer wakes from suspend. The command is xdotool mousemove 850 82 click 1 and that is all. I have already checked everything I was able to find here. For example I have tried:
#!/bin/bash
case $1 in

xdotool mousemove 850 82 click 1
;;
esac
script was in /lib/systemd/system-sleep/
and it did not work at all. Thanks in advance for the help.

welcome to ask Ubuntu for this site if there is more than one line of code you should use code blocks (new line then 4 spaces in front of each line). see commonly-accepted-formatting-guidelines for more information.

There are scripts that get run at Suspend/Resume/Hibernate/Wake times, but they run in a "system" context, not a "User/GUI" one. Read man pm-action online.
You could wrap your xdotool in a bash script, so you can access the GUI (if you're logged in). Put the line
export DISPLAY=:0
early in your script.
NOTE: DISPLAY=:0 is what works for me, usually. Check with echo $DISPLAY in a GUI terminal.

It did not work for me and I do not know if it is true but I have found info that in Kubuntu 18.10 start.d is no longer used so scripts there are not working that is why I am trying with /lib/systemd/system-sleep/
