Sometimes we need to suspend the machine when certain job is completed. Following is my gotosleep script to suspend my Ubuntu.
# ---- filename: gotosleep ---- #!/bin/bash # This script will suspend this machine to sleep mode. gnome-screensaver-command --lock sleep 1 dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.Hal" /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0 # ------------------------------

Ubuntu 11.04 requires HAL to provide abstract view on hardware. Thus,
sudo apt-get install hal
