Sleep/suspend script
From Superk
This script was shown to me by a friend of mine. It handle suspending/resuming a machine using ACPI while also logging some extremely useful information about battery usage during the suspended period:
#!/bin/sh
# sleep.sh test script for measuring power drain during suspend-to-ram with ACPI
# default settings, change if needed
LOG=/var/log/battery.log
BATTERY=BAT0
THRESHOLD=1000
# remove USB for external mouse before sleeping
if lsmod | grep '^usbhid' >/dev/null ; then
/sbin/modprobe -r -s usbhid
fi
if lsmod | grep '^uhci_hcd' >/dev/null ; then
/sbin/modprobe -r -s uhci_hcd
fi
if lsmod | grep '^ehci_hcd' >/dev/null ; then
/sbin/modprobe -r -s ehci_hcd
fi
