From https://www.tecmint.com/disable-suspend-and-hibernation-in-linux/ I was seemingly able to do what I wanted by issuing the following command: sudo systemctl mask suspend.target whose results can be checked using: sudo systemctl status suspend.target and can be reversed if needed by: sudo systemctl unmask suspend.target HTH to someone who wants a hammer solution to this issue.
