Is there a special command I can use in the command line to start hibernation?


If hibernation has been enabled in the Control Panel -> Power Options applet,
you can run the following command to make the computer hibernate.

%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState

Take a look at this article for more info.

If you want to run a scheduled task to make a computer hibernate at a certain
time, you might want to try this program from Microsoft.

PsShutdown v2.52
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/psshutdown.mspx

Place a copy of the program in your Windows/System32 folder.

This command will result in the computer hibernating immediately.

psshutdown.exe -h -t 00

Good luck

Make it hibernate on command or at specified time?
Gosh, I wish I could make mine hibernate normally, as set
in Power Options, now that I have SP3 installed!
Is there a way I can reload Power Options back to
the way it worked before installing SP3?
