Ubuntu should have the same. note that pm-suspend is 'suspend to ram'  
whereas pm-hibernate is 'suspend to disk'

Also note that this scripts are effectively just convenient wrappers  
around command like

 > echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

which is what actually does the suspending/hibernating...
