-- script snipped --

Thanks lots ! -- I looked up [1], which has useful extra advice.

However, it occurs to me that my keyboard (Sanyo 1989) is PS/2 ,
so the script will help only to enable restart via the mouse.
There's a PS/2 setting on the mobo, which I've enabled,
but might there also be something in the kernel which needs enabling ?

Lots of people seem to have problems with suspend/restart
& it seems to be somewhat random & vary with different makes of mobo,
so any further suggestions here may help others in future too.
