Update:

Seems like a recent Dom0 update might’ve removed the modifications I made to /usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/52qubes-pause-vms

I tried to append/prepend my script to /usr/lib/systemd/system/qubes-suspend.service’s ExecStart= line but couldn’t get it to trigger my script.

Ultimately, I moved my shutdown on sleep script to /usr/local/bin/ and inserted it where I had inserted my commands in /usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/52qubes-pause-vms. The main difference being that the next time this file gets overwritten, I won’t lose my entire script.

I started a little script to re-insert my script into /usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/52qubes-pause-vms, but I’m not sure the best way to hook it. Open to ideas.

Here’s the script I wrote to re-add my script:

### Variables
myscript="/usr/local/bin/<my script>"
target="/usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/52qubes-pause-vms"
### Check to see if the script is in place; add it if not, peace out if so
if ! grep -q "$myscript" "$target"; then
    # If the search string is not found, insert the new string
	sed -i "/hibernate)/a\	$myscript" $target
fi
