Hibernate from command line

[Bill]

Using the command line I would like to put the computer
into hibernation (WinXP Pro). I see that there is a
shutdown command to shutdown completely, but I cannot
find an option or command to go into hibernation or stand-
by (from a command prompt). Please assist.

Hi!
Download Shutdown.exe 1.0
Shutdown.exe is a simple command line utility that can:-
Log Off the current user
Shutdown (Turn Off) the computer
Restart the computer
Hibernate the computer (note that hibernation has to be enabled!)
Put the computer into Stand By (Sleep)
You also have the option to force the action and thus end all running
programs without saving data.

Shutdown.exe has been designed for Microsoft Windows XP. It might also
work on other operating systems (like Windows 2000), but you should not
rely on it.
Before apply please go through the instructions.
