And, lets face it, a business server is not going to need to hibernate; its a 7/24 device!
There is a use case for swap on servers, though: when mains goes out and the battery watcher daemon kicks in: hibernate the machine in emergency, in order to restore without losing anything. Al services up, nothing lost. No admin time needed, either, except to switch on.
AFAIK, our UPS monitoring daemon (apcupsd) has no such option (hibernate instead of shutdown). I guess it could be scripted.
I don't remember on which of the two daemons I saw the option mentioned. The safe thing would be attempt to hibernate, and if it fails, poweroff. But laptops do that by default, I think. At least mine does. Different daemon, of course, but same basic idea. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
