<title>Description</title>
a system service that is pulled in by
for the actual system suspend. Similar,
executed the actual hibernation.</para>
<para>Immediately before entering system suspend and
hibernation
all executables in
and pass two arguments to them. The first argument
will be "<literal>pre</literal>", the second either
"<literal>suspend</literal>" or
"<literal>hibernate</literal>", depending on the chosen
action. Immediately after leaving system suspend and
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
before all executables finished.</para>
<para>Note that scripts or binaries dropped in
are intended for local use only and should be
considered hacks. If applications want to be notified
of system suspend and resume there are much nicer
interfaces available.</para>
