  63                 <title>Description</title>
  64
  65                 <para><filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> is
  66                 a system service that is pulled in by
  67                 <filename>suspend.target</filename> and is responsible
  68                 for the actual system suspend. Similarly,
  69                 <filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename> is
  70                 pulled in by <filename>hibernate.target</filename> to
  71                 execute the actual hibernation. Finally,
  72                 <filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename> is
  73                 pulled in by <filename>hybrid-sleep.target</filename>
  74                 to execute hybrid hibernation with system
  75                 suspend.</para>
  76
  77                 <para>Immediately before entering system suspend
  78                 and/or hibernation
  79                 <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> (and the
  80                 other mentioned units, respectively) will run all
  81                 executables in
  82                 <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename>
  83                 and pass two arguments to them. The first argument
  84                 will be <literal>pre</literal>, the second either
  85                 <literal>suspend</literal>,
  86                 <literal>hibernate</literal>, or
  87                 <literal>hybrid-sleep</literal> depending on the
  88                 chosen action. Immediately after leaving system
  89                 suspend and/or hibernation the same executables are run,
  90                 but the first argument is now
  91                 <literal>post</literal>. All executables in this
  92                 directory are executed in parallel, and execution of
  93                 the action is not continued until all executables
  94                 have finished.</para>
  95
  96                 <para>Note that scripts or binaries dropped in
  97                 <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename>
  98                 are intended for local use only and should be
  99                 considered hacks. If applications want to be notified
 100                 of system suspend/hibernation and resume, there are
 101                 much nicer interfaces available.</para>
 102
 103                 <para>Note that
 104                 <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename>,
 105                 <filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename>, and
 106                 <filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename>
 107                 should never be executed directly. Instead, trigger
 108                 system sleep states with a command such as
 109                 <literal>systemctl suspend</literal> or
 110                 similar.</para>
 111
 112                 <para>Internally, this service will echo a string like
 113                 <literal>mem</literal> into
 114                 <filename>/sys/power/state</filename>, to trigger the
 115                 actual system suspend. What exactly is written
 116                 where can be configured in the <literal>[Sleep]</literal>
 117                 section of <filename>/etc/systemd/sleep.conf</filename>.
