Shutdown command in DOS for delayed hibernation

[thx1139]

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:

shutodown \h \t 999

Why doesn't it work? It works for:

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
