When the screen is locked using ext_session_lock, killing swaylock will leave the session locked. This is normally desirable if the kill is due to the OOM killer or swaylock crashing, but can be undesirable if an unlock is desired. This adds a signal handler for SIGUSR1 if using ext_session_lock. |
