Sleep and hibernate command line

SLENDER RISING said:

Then, you can just type in any cmd mode

Code:

shutdown/h /t 0

for it to hibernate instantly or, otherwise,

Code:

shutdown/h

for it to set a hibernate mode within 30 seconds of the command being introduced.
...
...
Edit its route from "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" to "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /h /t 0" for instant hibernate, or "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /h" for 30 second delay before hibernate.

Just to clarify this: Hibernate switch (/h) used with shutdown command does not accept time delay switch (/t X where X is delay in seconds). Command shutdown /h /t 0 does therefore not work. Time delay switch can only be used with restart (/r) and shut down (/s) switches

The only correct way to hibernate with shutdown is shutdown /h without any additional parameters.

Everything works, i only need to test pstools for suspend.
Its weird its a tool fron 2006...
Also dont understand what eula does, why somebody add -accepteula in the command line and if this pstool is a service or just an exe.
Hope to test tomorrow.

Eula is usually referred to as an End User Licence Agreement. Looks like you have to agree to pstools EULA if you use it... If you want to use it in command line, you have agree with the terms in that way...

from Wikipedia:

In proprietary software, an end-user license agreement or software license agreement is the contract between the licensor and purchaser, establishing the purchaser's right to use the software.

I'll look around, if there is another way to do that.

I can tell Sleep 'cause I'm using it for several years in a shortcut in >W10:

Code:

%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Standby

What I'm looking for, is the same ability to come back only touching the mouse.

I'm not sure it works for hibernate as somebody suggested it in another post:

Code:

%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState

But I'll give that a try and report back

Edit:
I confirm that it work perfectly also for Hibernation,

I use a command that works for sleep even though hibernate is enabled.
- You are trying to do so using [MS SysInternals] PSTools.
- I do so using NirSoft's NirCmd utility.

My command line is written into a shortcut. I've left in my own full path but you would want to substitute your own.

Code:

C:\Tools\External\NirSoft\NirCmd\x64\NirCmd.exe standby
