Hi,
I would like to share this little script that works around a problem
with my Compaq laptop. The problem is that I cannot suspend to disk but can
suspend to RAM (the disk option is a windows file) and suspend to RAM tries to
suspend to disk after one hour (bios option that won't go away). I think I am
far from alone in this situation. The script will keep the system suspended to
RAM (with a 10 second wakeup every 55 minutes) until the battery hits 10% or
lower and then halt -p.
