According to the description in the http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668890 su spawns login shell where the start-stop-daemon doesn't. This login shell that su spawns violates polkit policy org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions when trying to hibernate and it can be seen with loginctl. loginctl shows: SESSION UID USER SEAT c1 112 dirmngr c2 1000 durin seat0 I don't know if su works differently when using systemd and not sysvinit and makes this problem appear only when using systemd. Thanks, Sami
