Standby and Hibernate from Command Line

How can I cause standby or hibernate from the command line? The shutdown
utility seems to only be able to shut down or reboot.

Try psshutdown.exe from Microsoft.

PsShutdown v2.52
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...sshutdown.mspx

Place a copy of the program in your Windows/System32 folder.
The following command will put the system into Standby
immediately.

psshutdown.exe -d -t 00

This command will result in the computer hibernating
immediately.

psshutdown.exe -h -t 00

If you'd rather not use psshutdown, take a look at this
article. Keep in mind that using this method will result in
having to choose between the two possible power states. You
can't have both.

Good links, thanks.

I don't know why I didn't look at the sysinternals site for this.
