scheduled task to sleep?

[TC2]

I often have internet radio running, so if I walk off and forget to shutdown
or sleep, it never does. I tried to setup a scheduled task to sleep at the
end of the day but find no way to do it. If I use a call to shutdown.exe
then open files get lost and such. I don't find any similar sleep.exe. Is
there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,

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-
