What he probably means is that you need acpid to receive the acpi events
and call a script. This script would then call the hibernate script
(maybe you can just have the acpi daemon call the hibernate script),
which in turn calls the swsusp2 code.

Sounds kind of strange to me, but that's probably because you left some
stuff out of the description of this 'sleeping' modus. If the computer
is still running, there is no way you can guarantee that the harddisk
stays off all the time. What if a program decides to load some file? If
you mean something like suspend-to-ram (which means that the computer
isn't running anymore), then that should be possible with ACPI as well.
However, I didn't get it to function on my machine, but you might have
more luck. Try Google and suspend-to-ram.
