I still think disabling suspend from shutdown.c, at the same time as 
creating /var/run/nologin might be the best way to go, to avoid any 
possibility of untimely suspending once committed to shutting down.

For one thing, shutdown's -o flag bypasses using init and calls halt or 
reboot directly, though I don't know if anyone uses that.  For another, 
if shutdown fails for any reason, or is cancelled by signal by the user 
.. or in any case, I gather .. finish() removes /var/run/nologin, and 
could also there reenable suspend, covering Anthony's point.

cheers, Ian
