I think this task should be delegated to GRUB and not to some shell script which alters the configuration files. Upon detection GRUB could boot the suspended system automatically without prompting (as most users would want it). It should also warn if there is more than one suspended system (which could be dangerous). So far I have seen no solution for a happy coexistence of Linux and Windows. If both have access to the other's file- system and suspend to disk is being used one can run into a pile of **** if accidentally booting the wrong OS... Keep up the good work, LC (myLC@gmx.net)
