Hibernate

[Bill Thorngate]

Is there a command to hibernate the PC? I use
shutdown.exe to shut it down but I cannot seem to find a
command for hibernation.

This is also my question. Is there anyone know?

You have to turn it on in Control Panel Power Options.

I just found the answer. Here is the command to hibernate PC. It works for
my windowsXP.

rundll32 PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState

p.s. the hibernate option in the Power Options must be turn on.

Hi Bill,

You may try this shutdown.exe utility
http://www.budja.com/shutdown/

From that page:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
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)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

-or-

See if this information helps, from David Candy:

All you have to do to get the pc to hibernate is this...
click Start
click Turn off Computer
When the Turn off Computer menu opens,
Press the Shift key.
This alternates Stand by to Hibernate...
