Summary: Power Mgmt Guide needs to Address Howto Suppress Sleep
State
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: power-management-guide
Severity: low

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.
