<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> is a system
service that is pulled in by <filename>suspend.target</filename>
and is responsible for the actual system suspend. Similarly,
<filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename> is pulled in by
<filename>hibernate.target</filename> to execute the actual
hibernation. Finally,
<filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename> is pulled in by
<filename>hybrid-sleep.target</filename> to execute hybrid
hibernation with system suspend and pulled in by
<filename>suspend-then-hibernate.target</filename> to execute system suspend
with a timeout that will activate hibernate later.</para>
<para>Immediately before entering system suspend and/or
hibernation <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> (and the
other mentioned units, respectively) will run all executables in
<filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename> and pass two
arguments to them. The first argument will be
<literal>pre</literal>, the second either
<literal>suspend</literal>, <literal>hibernate</literal>,
<literal>hybrid-sleep</literal>, or <literal>suspend-then-hibernate</literal>
depending on the chosen action.
Immediately after leaving system suspend and/or hibernation the
same executables are run, but the first argument is now
<literal>post</literal>. All executables in this directory are
executed in parallel, and execution of the action is not continued
until all executables have finished.</para>
<para>Note that scripts or binaries dropped in
<filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename> are intended
for local use only and should be considered hacks. If applications
want to react to system suspend/hibernation and resume,
they should rather use the <ulink
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit">Inhibitor
interface</ulink>.</para>
<para>Note that <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename>,
<filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename>, <filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename>, and
<filename>systemd-suspend-then-hibernate.service</filename> should never be executed directly. Instead,
trigger system sleep with a command such as <command>systemctl suspend</command> or <command>systemctl
hibernate</command>.</para>
<para>Internally, this service will echo a string like
<literal>mem</literal> into <filename>/sys/power/state</filename>,
to trigger the actual system suspend. What exactly is written
where can be configured in the [Sleep] section
of <filename>/etc/systemd/sleep.conf</filename> or a
<filename>sleep.conf.d</filename> file. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-sleep.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
