22 systemd-suspend.service is a system service that is pulled in by
23 suspend.target and is responsible for the actual system suspend.
24 Similarly, systemd-hibernate.service is pulled in by hibernate.target
25 to execute the actual hibernation. Finally,
26 systemd-hybrid-sleep.service is pulled in by hybrid-sleep.target to
27 execute hybrid hibernation with system suspend and pulled in by
28 suspend-then-hibernate.target to execute system suspend with a timeout
29 that will activate hibernate later.
30
31 Immediately before entering system suspend and/or hibernation
32 systemd-suspend.service (and the other mentioned units, respectively)
33 will run all executables in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/ and pass two
34 arguments to them. The first argument will be "pre", the second either
35 "suspend", "hibernate", "hybrid-sleep", or "suspend-then-hibernate"
36 depending on the chosen action. Immediately after leaving system
37 suspend and/or hibernation the same executables are run, but the first
38 argument is now "post". All executables in this directory are executed
39 in parallel, and execution of the action is not continued until all
40 executables have finished.
41
42 Note that scripts or binaries dropped in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/
43 are intended for local use only and should be considered hacks. If
44 applications want to react to system suspend/hibernation and resume,
45 they should rather use the Inhibitor interface[1].
46
47 Note that systemd-suspend.service, systemd-hibernate.service, and
48 systemd-hybrid-sleep.service systemd-suspend-then-hibernate.service
49 should never be executed directly. Instead, trigger system sleep states
50 with a command such as "systemctl suspend" or similar.
51
52 Internally, this service will echo a string like "mem" into
53 /sys/power/state, to trigger the actual system suspend. What exactly is
54 written where can be configured in the "[Sleep]" section of
55 /etc/systemd/sleep.conf or a sleep.conf.d file. See systemd-
56 sleep.conf(5).
57
59 systemd-sleep understands the following commands:
60
61 -h, --help
62 Print a short help text and exit.
63
64 --version
65 Print a short version string and exit.
66
67 suspend, hibernate, hybrid-sleep, suspend-then-hibernate
68 Suspend, hibernate, suspend then hibernate, or put the system to
69 hybrid sleep.
