PowerManagement -- How to enter (and stay!) in a sleep state?



I have ACPI installed and apparently functioning (it turns my monitor off).
I have a 2.6.10 kernel and KDE 3.3

In windows, I have a little set of toolbar buttons that include:
power off monitor
sleep (power off disks and monitor)
hibernate (disks and monitor off, idle processor at 1/8 speed, fan off)

Is there a ready-made equivalent for linux?
The KDE Control Center only powers off the monitor.

If not, are there scripts to do this?

I tried something like
echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep
It does it, but then immediately comes back on.
