Also done. See suspendd.

Done in suspendd.

6K. Even better.
People shouldn't change the /dev/apm_bios interface. This moving
target of interfaces is one of the problems with Linux.

Cough. I wrote suspendd because the version of apmd on sunsite (2.4)
didn't have the features I wanted, and was so old (1996) that I
suspected it was orphaned. A few hours later I had what I wanted.
Pardon me for not knowing about the beta version.
Anyway, let's drop this thread. I had an itch, I scratched it and put
the result out for the world to use or ignore.
