I can't find the manual for this command explaining exactly what is
does. I take it the default is changed to shutdown (-h option). But as
"init 5" explains everything it does, sys-suspend does not.

I don't want to believe it is 'as safe as' I'd like to know for sure
from someone who knows. Any more info on this?
