by Hi there!
Two questions; First, is there a way I can make my Linux box "suspend"? What
I'm looking for is basically some way of putting the box in sleep mode, like
"Stand by" in windows and MacOS. I'm going to set up a router/firewall at
home, and I want it to suspend itself when it hasn't routed any traffic for,
say 30 minutes (the fan noise!!! It's driving me crazy!).
Extrapolating for this, it would naturally be very convenient if it could
"wake up" from suspend mode when there is traffic on the internal ethernet
interface.
Any ideas? Comments? Could I perhaps accomplish this programmatically, and
in that case, does any of you fine people have some pointers to where I
should be looking in terms of documentation? Any help is gratefully
accepted.
Cheers,
-Fredrik
