apmsleep − go into suspend or standby mode and wake-up later
apmsleep [−sSnwhVd] [−−suspend] [−−standby] [−−noapm] [−−wait] [−−help] [−−version] [−−debug] [+]hh:mm
Some computers, especially laptops, can wake-up from a low-power suspend to DRAM mode using the Real-time-clock (RTC) chip. Apmsleep can be used to set the alarm time in the RTC and to go into suspend or standby mode. An interrupt from the RTC causes the computer to wake-up. The program detects this event, by waiting for a leap in the kernel time and terminates successfully. If no time leap occurs within one minute, or something goes wrong, the exit value will be non-zero.
The wake-up time can be specified in two formats:
+hh:mm specifies a relative offset to the current time. The computer will suspend for exactly hh hours and mm minutes plus a few seconds to wake up.
hh:mm
specifies absolute local time in 24-hour format. The
time stored in the RTC is not important. You may change the
time zone used, with the TZ environment variable as usual.
Daylight saving time is not obeyed in this version, but
might be in a future release.
−V, −−version
Print the apmsleep program version and exit immediately.
−s, −−suspend
Put the machine into suspend mode if possible (default). On my laptop, suspend mode turns off everything except the memory.
−S, −−standby
Put the machine into standby mode if possible. On my laptop, standby mode turns off screen, hard disk, and CPU.
−w, −−wait
Wait indefinitely for the time leap.
−n, −−noapm
Do not call /usr/bin/apm to suspend computer, just set the alarm clock and wait for time leap.
−d, −−debug
Print some information about what is going on.

Kernel |
The special character device /dev/rtc must exist and the Linux kernel needs to be compiled with APM and RTC support (CONFIG_RTC, and relevant CONFIG_APM* options). | ||
|
BIOS |
The computer must have the ’suspend to RAM’ feature enabled in the BIOS; ’suspend to Disk’ will not work, because the computer is turned off completely. You do not need to enable the ALARM timer, it will be activated by apmsleep. On some boards, you can configure which interrupts can be used to awake from suspend mode. If you have such a board, you might want to make sure that keyboard (IRQ 1) and RTC (IRQ 8) are among those interrupts. |
Privileges
The program must be run as root or have the SUID attribute set (see chmod(1)).
Apmsleep cannot detect which event terminated the suspension. Possible events are: keyboard or mouse activity, modem ring, alarm from RTC, any other interrupt.
This program was tested on a Winbook XL laptop (Pentium) only. It may not function on your hardware.
