So my general modus operandi is to boot the laptop, suspend using the /root/idle script, and resume. Lid close is set to do nothing, so there's really no other way to suspend. Note that tihs script is highly customized for my environment, so it may not fit yours. But the ideas are all good, so feel free to pick and choose the pieces you need/want. IMPORTANT: I am running rh8 on this laptop, so the actual suspend method will vary. I currently cannot suspend, due to acpi not doing the right thing in 2.4. one last note before I paste in the script. I also put in a "killall -STOP mozilla-bin" into the acpi scripts, and triggered it off the lid switch detection. killall -CONT mozilla-bin afterwards. mozilla still has the insane bookmark code from netscape that writes out its bookmark file EVERY MINUTE. keeping the disk spinning, plus eating up of cpu from animated gif's, flash, etc. - Kevin also available at http://rightsock.com/~kjw/Tech/idle.sh.txt to get the tabs right. #!/bin/sh # usage: $0 [-f] [-n] # -f = force. no network checks # -n = not really. do everything but actual suspend # presumption: eth0 is always the pcmcia. # my config: builtin ethernet isn't insmod'ed by default, so the system # just doesn't know it's there. if ifconfig eth0 >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then # check if there is any pending network activity if [ " $1" = ' -f' ] ; then # -f is specified, skip the network checks echo 'Skipping network checks' shift 1 else # no -f found; normal code path # check mailq MAILQ=`mailq -Ac` # rh6.2: while [ "$MAILQ" != 'Mail queue is empty' ] ; do # rh7.0: while [ "$MAILQ" != '/var/spool/mqueue is empty' ] ; do # rh8.0: while [ "$MAILQ" != '/var/spool/mqueue is empty # Total requests: 0' ] ; do # rh8.0 client mqueue: (yes, multiline.
