Someone posted (to this list) a simple command line for
sleeping the system.

acpitool -S  =>  suspend to disk (hibernate)  =>  Puts machine

Puts machine into S3.

man acpitool

it is, appropriately, in the acpitool package.


But do either of the commands work?


I'll be darned... 'acpitool -s' *works from a VT* (not from X).
Except I get this from alsa when KUSC is playing with mplayer:


works from X for me.  I was *shocked* when I tried it the first time
and it worked.

How do you invoke it from X? 'sudo acpitool -s' in xterm or konsole?

As you noted, it's very fast, which is why I don't think that there is
any swapping or state-saving going on.  I think it just puts things
into a low power state.  My guess is that the RAM is running normally,
the CPU is halted, etc...
