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.
