I have acpid running. I can see that hitting the suspend button on my laptop triggers an event: [Fri May 21 13:34:44 2004] received event "button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000001" [Fri May 21 13:34:44 2004] notifying client 2149[501:501] [Fri May 21 13:34:44 2004] completed event "button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000001" [Fri May 21 13:34:44 2004] received event "button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000002" [Fri May 21 13:34:44 2004] notifying client 2149[501:501] [Fri May 21 13:34:44 2004] completed event "button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000002" I can also see I need to put something in /etc/acpi/events/ to tell the system to suspend on the event. What command should I use to suspend? "usr/bin/apm -s" can no logger be used because: kernel: apm: overridden by ACPI. -- Norman Gaywood, Systems Administrator School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia norm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Phone: +61 (0)2 6773 2412 http://turing.une.edu.au/~norm Fax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
