Package: acpi-support Version: 0.109-6 Severity: normal I am sorry to be trouble, there is probably an easy solution but I couldn't find it after some time, so I am submitting this as a documentation bug, hopefully the situation can be improved for future users even if my question is addressed.
I just want to turn of my network interfaces on suspend (maybe this happens automatically with some desktop environment or using /etc/network/interfaces but I don't use those), so I looked around and found /etc/acpi/suspend.d/ and put a script in there. It doesn't seem to run on suspend, which I do with acpitool -s A README in that directory explaining the use of the directory would help, maybe? Then I found /etc/default/acpi-support which has a long comment before the SUSPEND_METHODS line saying something about how /etc/acpi/suspend.d is deprecated but also saying I can enable it by putting "acpi-support" in SUSPEND_METHODS. The comment didn't say what the non-deprecated solution was (e.g. pm-utils is supposedly non-deprecated, but where do I put my scripts to have them run by pm-utils?). I tried putting my script in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/, but no luck. Then I tried adding "acpi-support" to SUSPEND_METHODS in /etc/default/acpi-support, with the script back in /etc/acpi/suspend.d, still no luck. Note that /etc/default/acpi-support doesn't explain what services to restart after modifying the file, which would be useful, but I tried /etc/init.d/acpid restart /etc/init.d/acpi-support restart and repeated the experiment with no luck. Also, I wasn't able to find useful information in the ACPI HOWTO http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/ACPI-HOWTO I hope that I am not overlooking something obvious. It is strange to have a huge directory of scripts in /etc/ which don't seem to be getting executed by anything...
