Aloha everyone!
I attached a script that I thought I could share with everyone for
your help. This Python3 script only works on Unix systems. It prints the
current state of the lid. This can be used to make a script that
performs some action when the lid is closed or open. The script is
licensed under LGPLv3 and I will soon upload it to my Launchpad account.
Enjoy!
