suspend to ram and acpid

Hi there!

So, I finally got suspend to ram working with kernel 2.6.9-rc1 on my Samsung X05 notebook.
I have set up the hibernate.sh script from swsusp2 so I can conveniently enter the sleep state. When I have the script executed via the lid-button-event, the system goes to sleep alright.
But on waking it up, it goes into sleep again at once.
That should not have anything to do with pressing the power-button for wake-up, for this would shut the system down.
When I stop acpid before suspend, it wakes up again correctly.
But it does not seem to be possible to restart acpid from the hibernate script or the lid-event, I have to do it manually every time.

I would be thankful for any ideas on restarting acpid automatically.

Regards, soenke

Yours seem to be an old post; but in case you haven't solved your problem yet, you could always try to write a script to do that for you, something like this:

sleeper.sh

Some buttons report two presses when released. Not just one when pushed, one when released, but it waits until the combination of push/release to send 2 events. Not really smart, I know - but it's easy to work around it with a script. First "press", check a file for the button state, if it's at 0, write 1 to the file; next "press", set the file back to 0 and then activate swsusp2.

This is a little late of a reply, but if you use:

/etc/init.d/acpid start &

Then it will work. I usually issue "sleep 1s" just before that command just in case.
