And for those graphical environment that uses dbus, can shutdown, halt,
hypernate, sleep by this: (hope you know how to read it (works for
Gnome... Can others confirm for other))
#$1 = method name
execute_dbus_method ()
{
dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement \
--type=method_call --print-reply --reply-timeout=2000 \
/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement \
org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.$1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Failed"
fi
}
if [ "$1" = "suspend" ]; then
echo "Suspending"
execute_dbus_method "Suspend"
elif [ "$1" = "hibernate" ]; then
echo "Hibernating"
execute_dbus_method "Hibernate"
elif [ "$1" = "reboot" ]; then
echo "Rebooting"
execute_dbus_method "Reboot"
elif [ "$1" = "shutdown" ]; then
echo "Shutting down"
execute_dbus_method "Shutdown"
elif [ "$1" = "" ]; then
echo "command required: suspend, shutdown, hibernate or reboot"
else
echo "command '$1' not recognised, only suspend, shutdown, hibernate
or reboot are valid"
exit 1
