SYNOPSIS

systemctl hibernate [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

systemctl hibernate hibernates the system by saving the current state to disk (swap) and powering off. When the system is powered on again, it resumes from where it left off.

PARAMETERS

-f, --force

Force hibernation even if inhibitors are present (programs blocking sleep)
--no-wall
Do not send wall message to logged-in users before hibernating

CAVEATS

Requires sufficient swap space to hold the contents of RAM. The system must support hibernation at the hardware level. Some systems may need additional kernel parameters for hibernation to work properly.

HISTORY

systemctl hibernate is part of systemd, the system and service manager for Linux, providing modern power management capabilities.
