Enabling udev rule / systemd service on a per-user basis? about autorandr

[phillipberndt]

The best idea I can come up with is to not use udev/systemd. Use the x11 daemon solution instead.

Alternatively, create a predetect hook for the user you don't want to use the tool with and use it to kill it.

Ah I see, that makes a lot of sense. Would be nice to have some documentation on the udev-vs.-x11-daemon options, but not sure where the best place for those would be. (README? Wiki? Manpage?) I'm happy to leave well enough alone, but maybe if I am feeling particularly inspired, I'll take a stab at a doc contribution one of these days.

I might ask, as a follow-up, if there is a recommended way to disable the udev rule once it's been installed via, e.g., a .deb package; I just moved 40-monitor-hotplug.rules to 40-monitor-hotplug.rules.bak, but I suspect that would be overwritten when upgrading. Thanks again for an absolutely indispensable utility 🙏🙏🙏
