I forgot to add that I hope your script takes into account for weird
hardware (yay! my laptop again). Even under Windows it behaves very
bizarrely because it generates a close lid event, but will only wake up
with a key press, not generating any lid open event, as the machine was
sleeping when the lid was opened again.

(Under Windows, the machine will go to sleep after closing the lid, and
re-opening it, very useful to get a depleted battery).
