So I guess I'll still have to figure out how use powerlaunch.conf. Or does softpoweroff mean that all processes including wi-fi are suspended?
softpoweroff doesn't really do anything other than lock keys and turn off screen. I think this will do what you want. In /etc/powerlaunch/system.conf, under the [device] section, edit the following two lines:
Code:
softpoweroff = dbus_call powered SoftPowerOff; set in_softpoweroff 1; call system.device.offline_mode
softpoweron = dbus_call powered SoftPowerOn; set in_softpoweroff 0; call system.device.normal_mode
The changes are the two extra calls at the end to switch to offline or normal mode on softpoweroff/on
