>Description:
A long time ago, the zzz(8) command was the front end to triggering system suspend.
It was deleted a while ago with the rest of legacy APM support, but the man page confusingly persists: https://man.netbsd.org/zzz.8
Instead, the supported way to trigger suspend on ACPI-based systems is:
sysctl -w hw.acpi.sleep.state=3
This is quite a mouthful and hard to remember (and it also changed from machdep.acpi.sleep_state or something a few years ago).
We should restore the much more memorably-named zzz(8) as a one-liner shell script to do this.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to remember how to suspend a machine
>Fix:
Yes, please!
