My /etc/acpi/events/hibernate.conf:

event=button/power
action=/etc/acpi/actions/hibernate.sh


My /etc/acpi/actions/hibernate.sh:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/gxmessage -center -wrap -name "Hibernate" -title "Hibernate" -buttons "OK:0,Cancel:1" -default "Cancel" "Suspend to disk now?" && \
        /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate
exit $?

Of course it's just a call to pm-hibernate from the pm-utils-0.15-1 package,
I just added a dialog to ask for confirmation.

FYI, I use pm-utils to hibernate for weeks w/o any problem.


But take care, maybe I wasn't precise enough: when the GNOME shutdown dialog
stopped working (why?), I implemented my own hook for the power button (the
attached script, thru acpid). Now that the GNOME shutdown dialog is back
(why?), my custom stuff doesn't work anymore (I don't care, I succeeded in
hibernating from the Fn+Hibernate button of my laptop).


Regards,
