If you are in a session, and want gnome-power-manager do do fancy things
for you (like disconnect and reconnect NetworkManager, and lock the
screen, etc) you can do:

dbus-send --session \
	  --dest=org.gnome.PowerManager \
	  --type=method_call \
	  --print-reply \
	  --reply-timeout=2000 \
	  /org/gnome/PowerManager \
	  org.gnome.PowerManager.Suspend

But maybe pm-suspend will do everything you need to do.
