systemctl-suspend-then-hibernate

Suspend then auto-hibernate after delay

TLDR

Suspend then hibernate

$ systemctl suspend-then-hibernate
copy
Force suspend-then-hibernate
$ systemctl suspend-then-hibernate -f
copy

SYNOPSIS

systemctl suspend-then-hibernate [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

systemctl suspend-then-hibernate first suspends the system to RAM, then automatically hibernates after a configured delay. This provides fast wake-up when used shortly after suspension, while protecting against data loss if battery depletes.
The delay before hibernation is configured in `/etc/systemd/sleep.conf` via the `HibernateDelaySec=` option.

PARAMETERS

-f, --force

Force operation even if inhibitors are present
--no-wall
Don't send wall message to users

CAVEATS

Requires both suspend and hibernate to work properly. Needs sufficient swap space for hibernation. The delay timer wakes the system to hibernate, consuming some power. May not work reliably on all hardware.

HISTORY

The suspend-then-hibernate subcommand combines the benefits of fast suspend wake-up with the safety of hibernation for long idle periods, ideal for laptops left sleeping overnight.
