Now to bring the system to previous state do this , i assume there is a
server or another machine that is monitoring other system, if so , u can
make use of ssh and public key cryptography to loin with out a password and
execute the hibernate command
eg:
if ( system == idle) {
    ssh admin at system
    exe->hibernate command with parameters
}
