Unfortunately, I still don't know how to do this. Is there an utility to put PC into sleep/suspend ? I know I can switch to various S modes using /proc entry, but what about all the peripherals and user mode apps ? I would venture that there has to be some kind of subsystem in user mode to take care of all this. I probably did not phrase my question right, but when I Asked if ACPI suspend/sleep status is stable enough I was actually referring to the whole subsystem, not just kernel support.
