I assume this is your hostname. |

As I understand it, sudo provides access to commands, not files.

Here is the script I am trying to setup.
#!/bin/bash

#This is a shell script for hibernation.

sudo echo disk >/sys/power/state

It should work like this, but maybe you should try replacing it with
'/usr/bin/echo'

HTH,
Andrei

The redirection ">" is not taken by sudo.

For this only reason, I sometime must log as root. Try "sudo -s" then "echo
disk >/sys/power/state" and then exit.
