Only dbus-send at the moment but that is hardly useful:

 dbus-send --system --print-reply --reply-timeout=2147483648 \
 --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
 org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0

Though it's a one-time only pain since this interface probably won't
change much until hal goes 1.0.
