The script does run.

I added this, but it does not run.

I gave the full path.

Code:
/usr/bin/gxmessage -fg red -font  'sans 30' -timeout 3  'Back from being suspended.'

I guess enquiring minds want to know...

How do you know that your script is running?

Exactly where did you add the above code in your script? (I.e., What does your complete script look like now?)

What is invoking your script and what arguments are being passed to your script when it is invoked?

I know script is running because it creates the text file in the tmp directory.

Code:
#!/bin/bash 
#
# located in /lib/systemd/system-sleep/
# Created 4/2/19
exec 2> /tmp/systemd_suspend_test_err.txt
if [ "${1}" = "pre" ]; then
  # Do the thing you want before suspend here
  echo "we are suspending." > /tmp/systemd_suspend_test.txt
  /usr/bin/gxmessage -fg red -font  'sans 30' -timeout 3  'Fixing to suspend computer.'
elif [ "${1}" = "post" ]; then
  # Do the thing you want after resume here
  sleep 5
  echo "and we are back from being suspended" >> /tmp/systemd_suspend_test.txt
  /usr/bin/gxmessage -fg red -font  'sans 30' -timeout 3  'Back from being suspended.'
fi

Just for the fun of it, please change the following line in your script:
Code:
exec 2> /tmp/systemd_suspend_test_err.txt

to:
Code:
exec 2>> /tmp/systemd_suspend_test_err.txt
date >&2
printf "$0 argument: %s\n" "$@" >&2

and then show us what appears in /tmp/systemd_suspend_test_err.txt after your script is invoked by the system.

I got this in
systemd_suspend_test_err.txt
Code:
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
gxmessage: unable to initialize GTK

With your changes

Code:
Tue Apr  2 19:55:04 CDT 2019
/lib/systemd/system-sleep/On_Resume argument: pre
/lib/systemd/system-sleep/On_Resume argument: suspend
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
gxmessage: unable to initialize GTK
Tue Apr  2 19:55:11 CDT 2019
/lib/systemd/system-sleep/On_Resume argument: post
/lib/systemd/system-sleep/On_Resume argument: suspend
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
gxmessage: unable to initialize GTK

I'm not familiar with gxmessage, but from what we are seeing in the log, one might guess that some service it depends upon has already been shutdown before your script is called when the system is suspending and that the service hasn't been restarted yet before your script is called when the system is coming back up.

At least now we know what arguments are being supplied to your script when it is invoked.

Don't forget to remove your temp files after you have examined what happened after your script is invoked.

I thought the temp files were automatically deleted upon reboots.?

Everything in /tmp is removed on reboot by default on some operating systems unless a local systems administrator decides to change that policy. I have no idea what Ubuntu does by default nor what the sysadmins who run your site have decided to implement.

It never hurts anything if you decide to clean up your temporary files when you're done with them! Smilie
