About the suspend commands. If you use pm-utils like most distros, you
use:
      sudo pm-suspend
or    sudo pm-hibernate for suspend to disk (slower but uses no power)

If you use the hibernate script:
      sudo hibernate-ram
or    sudo hibernate

Those commands need root rights so you need to configure sudo to run
without password like in /etc/sudoers

%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

for all members of the wheel group or:

mythtv ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

for just the mythtv user
