Automatic hang-up and hibernate

[Renan]

Hello,

I'm looking for a program that will, at a given time, automatically hang
up a dial-up connection and put my PC in "hibernate" state.

Does such program exists?

Thanks!

If your computer is NOT a laptop/notebook then you can stop Hibernate.
Hibernation, reserves disk space equal to your RAM.

I am using hibernation because of the faster resume time (~30 seconds
compared to the ~1:15 of a cold boot) and being able to restore where I
stopped.

I just don't leave the CPU on because of the fan noise.

If you wanted to write a brief batch/script file, you could use the command
"rasdial /disconnect."

Rasdial.exe is distributed with win2k, winXP ...
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/rasdial.mspx

On win9x, then you could Google for msft's "Rasdial95 1.2." (I happen to use
this one myself.)

.....
Or, for whichever Win platform, you could use NirCmd:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

This multifariously capable little beasty includes the pertinent command
choices "rashangup" as well as "hibernate."

.....
Alternatively, I noticed that a small GUI util which has a dialog to let you
enter a time to have the modem disconnect -- was available on the page
JMatt provided earlier on, when he linked the apps page of the author of
the PowerOff prog. Ref:
[Rasdial 1.1 - http://users.pandora.be/jbosman/rasdial.zip]

Just this last Rasdial deal seems more work to me, the approach of having
to interact with an extra dialog box on something that I'd want more
automated. (Then again, I don't know your preferred style / strategy.)

.....
I don't use hibernate, but my interpretation of your posting is that you
prefer or need to disconnect DUN first before having the system do the
hibernate, for full smoothness or whatnot. That was the reason I sought
to add to the thread a few choices for getting a rasdial command in there.
To go along with whatever you choose for the hibernate command.

(Or, who knows, perhaps you might end choosing up a hibernate scheduler
that will integrally take care of the inet disconnect situation ... )

If the DUN is on, the system will not hibernate.

I want to turn off my DUN at 06:00 AM (my phone company provides
Internet access for lower rates from 00:00 AM to 06:00 AM).

Will check your suggestions.

From its description, Slawdog Smart Shutdown sounds like it will do what
you're looking for:
