I discovered /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-suspend-linux.
I can either hack that directly (yuck); however, I see I can also
resurrect my old /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script.
But the way it's set up, if I provide /etc/acpi/sleep.sh, I also have to
know how my system is suspended, which isn't user-friendly. I think it
would be nice to provide pre- and post-suspend hooks instead. Thoughts?
Thanks to an unrelated tip from Stefan Monnier, I installed the
hibernate package, and created a file called
/etc/hibernate/scriptlets.d/local which contains the following. If you
want to use it, replace my initials (BW) with your own since the
hibernate namespace is global.

Under APM, I had custom scripts as well (see http://www.newt.com/debian/thinkpad-t40p/), but I find that now under ACPI I'm really close to not having to maintain that stuff myself.

LEDs, gnome-power-manager, and ThinkPads
I'd like to turn the light to the CD-ROM off when I suspend and then back on when I resume. This can be done by calling echo 4 on | /proc/acpi/ibm/led and echo 4 off | /proc/acpi/ibm/led. Can these commands be run by gnome-power-manager when suspending and waking up? -- Bill Wohler [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
