Yep, that does it. Thanks! The command is apm --suspend or apm -s. A guy sure learns a lot on this list...
I was just starting to poke through the wmtuxtime code. It seems to accomplish the same thing using an ioctl call and dumping a struct directly into /proc/toshiba, while apm works with /proc/apm. The nice thing about wmtuxtime is that the applet seems to work from a normal user, whereas apm runs but cannot open the device. Of course it works with sudo, but I'd like to automate a shutdown after a task. So now I have new questions: How would I adjust the permissions so apm -s could be run by a normal user? Does this require me to adjust permissions to the /proc directory? How would I do that anyways? And, for my own curiosity, why can a windowmaker applet cause a suspend when the normal user can't? :i On Sun, 1 Aug 2004, dircha wrote: > Ian Knopke wrote: > > I'd like to be able to put my toshiba laptop in suspend mode from the > > command line.
