How shall the execution of such a script be triggered? As you mentioned there
is no acpi event generated because the system is on standby. However,
acpi-support scripts are only triggered by acpi events. Obviously we can also
run some scripts at startup or during shutdown, but I don't see how this
package can change the way the system comes up from standby. CouldnÄt you just
edit the corresponding scripts in pm-utils, assuming you use pm-utils to get
into standby?
