Description bob 2014-11-10 06:27:21 UTC

Description of problem:

F20 Power Management Guide does not address the hooks into the sleep system provided by systemd.  Ever since p,m-utils was deprecated there have been no Fedora/RHAT resources available that discuss how to utilize the hooks into the sleep system to prevent entry into the sleep state.

Example: in the era of pm-utils (going back to what, F15?) one could write scripts to suppress the transition to S3 if a desirable network connection were established that should not be interrupted.  All that was required was to place the script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ and have it issue a non-zero exit code if sleep should be suppressed.  When the goto sleep process prepared for sleep by executing the script, the script could deliver a non-zero exit code and prevent entry into the sleep state.

Now that pm-utils has been deprecated and replaced with systemd, Fedora now ignores any/all scripts in /etc/pm/*.  That isn't a problem.  What *IS* a problem, though, is that for the past 5 releases of Fedora, the Power Management Guide has completely ignored the topic of how to use custom scripts to prevent entry into the sleep state.  As a result, our only options are to look for help and examples in other distributions.

I'm closing this bug as part of a Bugzilla cleanup effort. The most likely reason is that the bug has been opened either against a component we no longer publish, or against Release Notes for an EOL release.
