Not sure whether it's relevant, but I had a similar problem, and I
managed to fix it.
My notepad is RedHat 5.2 based, and RH have a handy script available
called `run-parts` that takes as parameter a directory and runs every
script in that directory in `ls *` order. I created two directories
/etc/apmd/{resume,suspend}.d and then modified the RH apmd script to
include the following command:
Q> daemon /usr/sbin/apmd $APMD_OPTIONS \
Q> -r '/usr/bin/run-parts /etc/apmd/resume.d' \
Q> -s '/usr/bin/run-parts /etc/apmd/suspend.d'
I can confirm that this works fine...but ONLY if I include the full
path to both run-parts and the above directories...
Best wishes from Riley.
