But can you please tell me what the above does? In particular, what does feeding 3 into the /proc/acpi/sleep give me? What would 1, 2, etc have given? Also, can I run this with an sudo command? In that case, do I add the /proc/acpi/sleep into the sudo list? I do not want me to get root access to everything.
