SYSTEMD-SUSPEND.SERVICE(8)             systemd-suspend.service            SYSTEMD-SUSPEND.SERVICE(8)



NAME
       systemd-suspend.service, systemd-hibernate.service, systemd-hybrid-sleep.service, systemd-
       suspend-then-hibernate.service, systemd-sleep - System sleep state logic

SYNOPSIS
       systemd-suspend.service

       systemd-hibernate.service

       systemd-hybrid-sleep.service

       systemd-suspend-then-hibernate.service

       /lib/systemd/system-sleep

DESCRIPTION
       systemd-suspend.service is a system service that is pulled in by suspend.target and is
       responsible for the actual system suspend. Similarly, systemd-hibernate.service is pulled in
       by hibernate.target to execute the actual hibernation. Finally, systemd-hybrid-sleep.service
       is pulled in by hybrid-sleep.target to execute hybrid hibernation with system suspend and
       pulled in by suspend-then-hibernate.target to execute system suspend with a timeout that will
       activate hibernate later.

       Immediately before entering system suspend and/or hibernation systemd-suspend.service (and
       the other mentioned units, respectively) will run all executables in
       /lib/systemd/system-sleep/ and pass two arguments to them. The first argument will be "pre",
       the second either "suspend", "hibernate", "hybrid-sleep", or "suspend-then-hibernate"
       depending on the chosen action. An environment variable called "SYSTEMD_SLEEP_ACTION" will be
       set and contain the sleep action that is processing. This is primarily helpful for
       "suspend-then-hibernate" where the value of the variable will be "suspend", "hibernate", or
       "suspend-after-failed-hibernate" in cases where hibernation has failed. Immediately after
       leaving system suspend and/or hibernation the same executables are run, but the first
       argument is now "post". All executables in this directory are executed in parallel, and
       execution of the action is not continued until all executables have finished.

       Note that scripts or binaries dropped in /lib/systemd/system-sleep/ are intended for local
       use only and should be considered hacks. If applications want to react to system
       suspend/hibernation and resume, they should rather use the Inhibitor interface[1].

       Note that systemd-suspend.service, systemd-hibernate.service, systemd-hybrid-sleep.service,
       and systemd-suspend-then-hibernate.service should never be executed directly. Instead,
       trigger system sleep with a command such as systemctl suspend or systemctl hibernate.

       Internally, this service will echo a string like "mem" into /sys/power/state, to trigger the
       actual system suspend. What exactly is written where can be configured in the [Sleep] section
       of /etc/systemd/sleep.conf or a sleep.conf.d file. See systemd-sleep.conf(5).

OPTIONS
       systemd-sleep understands the following commands:

       -h, --help
           Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
           Print a short version string and exit.

       suspend, hibernate, suspend-then-hibernate, hybrid-sleep
           Suspend, hibernate, suspend then hibernate, or put the system to hybrid sleep.
