Read the man page.  -s or -S will suspend, the other will stand by.
Your apm settings in the bios usually define what suspend and standby
mean.  Suspend usually means write memory to disk and power off in a
special suspend state, while standby means lower power usage and suspend
all activity.

You can probably control suspend and standby with a gui, however apm is
the tool I use.
