There is some script I found on the software suspend (i think its under swspnd) page under sourceforge. Its somewhat old but it works as far as I can tell. What it does is bring down services modules and programs specified and then brings them back up when the computer wakes up, so that usb/pcmcia etc won't lock the computer. Its an install script called sleep.sh that installs /usr/local/bin/hibernate. I know there is some patch to init I think but I am not sure, never used it. To just make the computer hibernate do echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep To make the computer sleep try either echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep they are two different levels of power down, 3 is more problematic and is broken on my laptop. You may need the script to stop some probelmatic services and drivers like I said but it depends on your setup. Email me privately if you want me to mail you the script. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
