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.
