exittc with suspend support

(1/3) > >>

Roberto A. Foglietta:
At this time suspend is not included into exittc gui, so here you are:

http://www.roberto.foglietta.name/pub/tinycore/exittc.tgz

Package contains stripped pre-compiled executable + fluid project + makefile.

If s2ram does not exist then simply it raises a warning popup and does not exit (anymore).

roberts:
This has been in QA for sometime. What we have found is that suspend does not work on all machines. I didn't want an option listed that could cause a machine to hang and therefore lose data.

When you target a specific machine it is great. When your target is from the very old to the latest it can problematic.

I will take a look, others should too.

The s2ram options could be set by environment (cfr. the script) and exittc suggest to make the backup before suspend the machine: it would be useful also if the battery discharge completely during the suspend time.  ;)

it would be useful as an option... i'd be pretty angry if the distro i used started guessing things like that. so long as it's all off unless you opt-in, okay.

jpeters:
I just use:

echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state

I don't know if that works for all machines.
