Thanks for your feedback, Loki.

sudo seems to be an interesting solutions, anyway I think apm -s should
also work without being root or using sudo for as-root execution, this
is at least what happens on PowerPC machines with pmud (Similar to apmd
for x86) installed: An user can suspend the machine.

When /dev/apm_bios is readable by users apm -s should also work for
users, IMHO.

 I.
