resume/suspend enery star linux from command line


I have an ssh connection to a linux machine which is hibernated after some non-activity time.

I want to make it resume, how do I do that? (writing to /dev/mouse to simulate mouse movement didn't do the trick)


Solution

  • A machine that is hibernating cannot come out of sleep without pressing the power button, or sending a magic packet if the ethernet adaptor has Wake On Lan (WOL) capability and the motherboard supports that. WOL packets can only be generated on the local network, not remotely from other networks.
