If you just want to suspend the connection (implying that you're going 
to "unsuspend" it later) I think I'd just use some kind of state 
variable to indicate whether the action is suspended or not, e.g.

     myButton.connect(SEL_COMMAND) do
       unless suspended?
         do-whatever-it-is-that-I-do
       end
     end

Now if you just want to break the link altogether, you can set the 
button's message target to nil:

     myButton.target = nil

Hope this helps,
