I'm trying to implement the delayed hibernation unit. I'm on arch/antergos.

>>> systemctl enable suspend-to-hibernate.service
Failed to enable unit ...to-hibernate.service: Invalid argument

systemd-analyze verify ...hibernate.service responds with an empty output.

I copied the unit file straight from the arch wiki and changed SLEEPLENGTH to 1 hour. How can I debug the issue? How can I make systemd issue more descriptive error messages?

suspend-to-hibernate.service

 alarm=$(cat $WAKEALARM);

 if [ -z "$alarm" ] || [ "$now" -ge "$alarm" ]; then 
 echo "hibernate triggered"; 
 systemctl hibernate; 
 else 
 echo "normal wakeup"; 
 fi; 
 echo 0 > $WAKEALARM;

As given in the Arch wiki page, the file should be in /etc/systemd/system/. There are several directories where systemd looks for unit files, and /etc/systemd/system/ is where a system administrator should place their service files. See man systemd.unit.

After creating or a modifying a file in these directories, you have to run systemctl daemon-reload, which gets systemd to recheck its directories for new or modified units. Only then can you enable or start a new service.
