Hello, Gentoo. I used to have a utility pm-suspend which would suspend the current state of the machine to RAM (or, maybe to the swap partition) and shut the machine down to a resting state. A keypress or mouse movement would restore full functionality in a few seconds.
I think I lost this program in the emerge --depclean I did a couple of months ago (the one that wanted to make my machine unbootable). Is there anything to take its place? In particular I want actively to put the machine into resting state (as opposed to it happening after a period of inactivity), and I would prefer to do this without having to start a GUI session. I feel there must be something like this in portage, I just don't know how to find it. Thanks for the help! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
