Overview
This page demonstrates how one can shut the lid of a laptop computer running NST and still have NST run without being suspended. This is especially useful when NST is booted in console mode. The systemd-logind.service can be configured to "ignore" the suspension system power action. This systemd service handles various hardware state system power functionality.
Edit Configuration File for systemd-logind.service
The systemd-logind.service has a configuration file: "/etc/systemd/logind.conf" that contains an entry for controlling the system power when the lid switch is in the Closed position. If one want to allow the NST system running on a laptop computer not to enter the Suspension power state then the HandleLidSwitch entry needs to be set to: "ignore".
