Suspend console command

[abhishek456]

can any body tell me how to suspend a linux system through command promt

[Zelmo]

On my system, there's a script called /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend that looks like it's meant to suspend the system. It appears to be a freedesktop.org specification that was implemented last May, so it should be included on any current distro. Mind you, I haven't tried it, so I don't know how well it works.

Got this as result

default:~ # /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.UnknownError
No back-end for your operating system

go to the /proc/acpi/sleep, do (cat sleep) to see how many stage provided by the acpi normaly the S3 suspend the computer to the mem,

so : echo 3 > sleep or (echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state) and that should work,but for me when i tried to turn on my computer again it appears only black screen,but this problem is related to your VGA resolution mode,go to
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Proble...k_after_resume.
to see if you have a vga with such problem and to see how to solve it,if your VGA is not in the list of problematic video card so you are lucky.

hope this help
