You may suspend your machine by 'swsusp' or 'shutdown -z <time>'
(patch for sysvinit needed).

- detect the saved image, restore the memory from
- it and then it continues to run as before you've suspended.
- If you don't want the previous state to continue use the 'noresume'
- kernel option. However note that your partitions will be fsck'd and
- you must re-mkswap your swap partitions. It does not work with swap

Right now you may boot without resuming and then later resume but
in meantime you cannot use those swap partitions/files which were
involved in suspending. Also in this case there is a risk that buffers
on disk won't match with saved ones.
