Hello!

Is there a way to automatically lock the screen when the system goes
into suspend when using xscreensaver?

Yes, see below. This is a paired down script I use:

SCRIPT START-----------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# This is File
# /lib64/elogind/system-sleep/10_sleep.sh
# on 64 bit systems, 32 bit, maybe /lib/ ?
# do a chmod 755 on it
#
# Edit /etc/elogind/logind.conf (slackware 15.0)
# You may need to add this:
# HandleLidSwitch=suspend

g_user_01=YOUR-USER-ID

case $1/$2 in
pre/*)
logger "INFO ELOGIN: processing $1/$2 SLEEP"
su $g_user_01 -c "(xscreensaver-command -lock)"
# expirement with this setting
sleep 2
;;
post/*)
logger "INFO ELOGIN: $1/$2 RESUME"
;;
esac
SCRIPT END -----------------------------------------------

Paired down? What's it paired with?

How is this script named? Where do I need to cause it to be executed?

Have you looked at /usr/bin/xscreensaver-settings?

Yes, there is an option, but it doesn't work like the other suspend
settings too there.

I to not know what you are asking.

On my system I have a few custom processes running, so when
it goes into sleep, I cancel them to prevent issues should
resume fail. I removed that logic before posting.
