Openbox does not load power management by default - you must load it, or configure it to load in autostart.
There are various options you may have available, depending on your distribution.

[edit] pm-utils
pm-utils gives shell commands such as pm-hibernate and pm-suspend.
pm-utils on the Arch wiki has configuration details.
[edit] acpid
acpid is a flexible and extensible daemon for delivering ACPI events, including events triggered by:
- Pressing the power button
- Pressing a sleep/suspend button
- Closing a laptop/notebook lid
- Plugging or unplugging an AC power adapter from a laptop
See also acpid on the Arch Wiki.
[edit] gnome-power-manager
If you have GNOME installed on the same installation of Linux that you are using with Openbox (or if you don't mind installing a few GNOME dependencies) you can run gnome-power-manager - simply type or paste at the command prompt:
- gnome-power-manager
Gnome power preferences provides a notify area icon, and lets you adjust the power managment settings used my gnome-power-manager. run:
- gnome-power-preferences
[edit] xfce4-power-manager
xfce4-power-manager appears to require fewer dependencies than gnome-power-manager.
[edit] Notify area icons
Both the Gnome and the Xfce4 place icons in the notify area - this will hopefully work in most or all panels, including tint2 and LXPanel.
