Custom Idle

In this example, we will create a custom idle script for Debian and RHEL based images to run a specific command when the system is idle.

Update common/root/etc/helios/idle.d/custom.sh

Modify the existing common/root/etc/helios/idle.d/custom.sh script. This script will be executed when the system is idle.

#!/bin/bash

set -e

echo "Running custom idle script..."

# Add your custom commands here
echo "Custom idle script completed."

Make sure to give the script executable permissions:

chmod +x common/root/etc/helios/idle.d/custom.sh

Build the Image

To build the image with the custom idle script included, you can run the following command:

make noble

This command will build the Ubuntu Noble image with the custom idle script installed. You can replace noble with any other distro supported by Helios to build those images with the custom idle script as well.
