Kernel is not place to be friendly.

#echo PWRB > /proc/acpi/wakeup
#
#Which changes the PWRB line to this:
#
#PWRB       1            *disabled
#
#I like this interface - its clean and pretty intuitive. Two problems -
#first, it is ACPI specific, so we can't share it, and secondly, it
#doesn't fit in to the sysfs model (which is to return only one value
#per file). An alternative would be something like this: 

Was this april's fools joke? /proc/acpi/wakeup is a nightmare, not a
clean interface.
