The "Suspend" menu item calls ConsoleKit over DBus; the method calls are listed at <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Allow_Users_to_Shutdown#Using_consolekit>.

Note that the item does not 'execute' anything; DBus method calls are done by gnome-panel itself. You can use `dbus-send`, `gdbus call`, `qdbus`, Net::DBus, or whatever you like.
