I upgraded upower to version 0.99.7 but then could no longer suspend with
the command "dbus-send --system --print-reply

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method 'Suspend' ".
So I put the older version of upower back.
Google search shows that this is "because UPower has been superseded by
Systemd.Logind".
So without systemd, what methods have y'all used to work around this?

Three things:
pm-utils to provide the suspend and hibernate commands,
xbindkeys (run from startx) with a script to bind a specific key to
pm-suspend (on a plain keyboard I use F12 for suspend, F11 for
hibernate, but if there are extra silly keys at the top, I have used
one of those in the past),
and a file in /etc/sudoers.d so that I can run pm-suspend or
pm-hibernate via sudo without needing a password.
I will note that on modern *desktop* machines, not all of them
support suspend (nowadays, hibernate seems to work a lot more
reliably than it used to), and of those that do support suspend, a
PS/2 keyboard seems to be required (otherwise, there may not be a
way to wake it up). For laptops, hopefully suspend "just works".

I use xbindkeys for suspend and for hybernate, and for other things as well.
And I also use Autokey.
I have pm-utils.
Can you elaborate?
