Wake-up from suspend only by a specific key

Hi,

When the system is placed in suspend even the slightest keyboard or mouse action wakes up the system.

Is it possible to set wake-up to occur only when a specific key or keys combination are pressed?.

Thanks

Re: Wake-up from suspend only by a specific key

It is not possible to set a system to wake on a specific combination of keys. You can however, potentially prevent the system from waking due to keyboard or mouse activity. Here is an Arch wiki article on wakeup triggers for some background information. You should seek out distro-specific information on how to accomplish this.
