suspend to disk : current state of art?

Hi,
I've a working laptop that behave well under gentoo for years,
at a time I had time to setup correctly the power manager so that on battery low it enter suspend to disk state, so that it don't power off and I have to relauch everything

but the packages I used got outdated and I didn't found time to update the conf and install new packages at that time

now, it's problematic to have it power off, each time I go battery low... so I wonder, what is current gentoo policy regarding proper power management?

suspend to ram works directly, when I close the screen, the laptop enter suspend to ram and wake up when I open the laptop

so I suspect it just miss some conf to says "syspend to disk" instead "power off" on battery low

as well is there any user tool to ask to suspend to disk?

thanks and regards

On my openrc system, this is managed by sys-auth/elogind. I can change that behaviour into /etc/elogind/logind.conf.

ok.... I will never looked at the login deamon for handling power management.... since systemd has arrived, kiss is no more... that too bad because it's monolitic approach
I miss time were power management was done by power* app...
but thanks, I'm also on openrc so will have a look!
