UPSes with degraded batteries can be worse than useless; they might forget their state and stay off after an extended power outage is fixed! I had to drive 250km to swap one stupid box over that once...

S2DISK(8) s2disk S2DISK(8)
NAME
s2disk - program to suspend to disk (hibernate)
SYNOPSIS
s2disk [-h, --help] [-V, --version] [-f, --config config_file] [-r, --resume_device device] [-o, --resume_offset offset]
[-s, --image_size size] [-P, --parameter parameter]
resume
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the s2disk, s2both and resume commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
s2disk is a program that will save the state of the whole system to disk and power off your system. After restarting your system it will be
put back in the exact system state you left it (this is sometimes called hibernation).
s2both will do precisly the same as s2disk except that it will not power off the system, but will suspend it to ram (put the system in S3
mode). This has the advantage that resume will be faster, with the disadvantage that you still use batteries. If they batteries do deplete,
you still have the system state saved to disk and can resume without data loss. The s2both command also inherits all command line arguments
from s2ram.
You will need to set up an initramfs which calls the resume program for this to work. If you use an Debian(TM) kernel package which was
made with the --initrd option and you use mkinitramfs-tools, this package should include the necessary parts on your initramfs.
The uswsusp system supports encrypting the image written to disk and features a splash system, see uswsusp.conf(8) for more information
