Using SHUTDOWN via a batch file

[Ablang]

A batch file containing this:
SHUTDOWN -S -F -T 60 -C "Shutting down in 60 seconds"

will start a 60-sec countdown and then shut the system down.

Is there a good command line to make your computer hibernate?

In XP, not using the SHUTDOWN executable. However, you can still use the
RUNDLL32 command.
