Hello, Gentoo.
I used to have a utility pm-suspend which would suspend the current
state of the machine to RAM (or, maybe to the swap partition) and shut
the machine down to a resting state. A keypress or mouse movement would
restore full functionality in a few seconds.
I think I lost this program in the emerge --depclean I did a couple of
months ago (the one that wanted to make my machine unbootable).
Is there anything to take its place? In particular I want actively to
put the machine into resting state (as opposed to it happening after a
period of inactivity), and I would prefer to do this without having to
start a GUI session.
I feel there must be something like this in portage, I just don't know
how to find it.
Thanks for the help!
