slackware

Fujitsu-Siemens H240, Slackware-current, KDE 4.3.2.

I would like to perform some additional steps when my laptop suspends.

I found this SU question which is very close to what I am asking, however the scripts that I placed in that directory are not being called for me.

This could be a Slackware thing, or its possible that KDE has a different location for these scripts.

I am suspending by using the "Suspend" radio button on the "Guidance Power Manager" dialog of KDE.

Is there a standard location where I can place my scripts so they'll be run before and then after the machine has suspended?

Why does my laptop resume immediately after suspend?

as seen on Ask Ubuntu - Search for 'Ask Ubuntu'
I seem to be having some problem with suspend mode. Every time I try to suspend my laptop, it just locks the screen. Or maybe it successfully suspends just to resume only an instant after. What could cause such a behaviour? I'm running 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 with the 3.2.0-25 kernel on a HP dv5-1178er… >>> More
