You seem confused about ACPI daemon as the only way to suspend a system.
You seem confused about the differences between halt and shutdown -h on a embedded device.
I would start for trying to probe my own points.
I'm not saying you have no reason in your past experiences but sometimes humans reach wrong conclusions.
I came to the conclusion that sleep mode didn't work because I was debugging a Kobo using usbnet module, which in fact prevents the device sleep. I had to watch a few places to know that I was wrong as my experiment was the thing to lead me to wrong conclusions.
So: are you sure that you're not preventing the system from falling asleep by writting stuff to a file?. If you are sure please explain how do you know. If not please
try it
