    Shutdown command in DOS for delayed hibernation


    I'd like to be able to set a timer for delayed hibernation of my computer (so it can play music while I fall asleep). The command should be:
    Code:
    shutodown \h \t 999
    Why doesn't it work? It works for:
    Code:
    shutodown \s \t 999
    but I want it to hibernate, not shutdown. Can anyone help?

    when the value of /t is greater than 0 it forces the machine to terminate all running programs, don't know of a workaround... type shutdown /? in a cmd window for listing all variables. Perhaps setting a custom power plan will work for you...

    I was thinking the same thing ... but if the correct spelling doesn't work here's a freeware prog that might help Turn off master
