Ah, that explains it, thank you! No, calling it from the
command line showed that there was a configuration problem in
one of the hibernate.conf files (I had added something to
attempt to address a network problem). When I fixed this,
suspend worked again.

I didn't know _what_ command was the CLI equivalent to
what happened on lid-close.

In this case none of these logs were written to with anything useful.
