yes.
Since version 0.6.5 pbbuttonsd supports more suspend modes which can
be configured independently for AC and battery operation. The options
are called:
onAC_TimerAction = none ; none, suspend-to-ram, suspend-to-disk, blankscreen
onAC_CoverAction = suspend-to-ram
onAC_KeyAction = suspend-to-ram ; SleepKey
same options exist for onBattery_<>. See man pbbuttonsd.conf for full
details. If you set onXX_KeyAction = suspend-to-disk a script is called
each time you press the sleepkey. All you have to do is to place a
pmcs-script into /etc/power/event.d which then calls your hibernate script.
The hibernate script is not expected to return.
This feature is not fully tested because my machine was not prepared to
use suspend-to-disk. Some weeks ago I reconfigured my system so that
suspend-to-disk might be possible but until now I haven't set it up. So I am
very interested in your experiences and results. Especially how pbbuttonsd
reacts after wakeup from hibernation.
