Hello
I use "turn off computer" when empty for the night, but is it possible to add "sleep mode computer" ?
Many thanks

Lucky Luck

This is also what I would like. The option to go to Hibernate-mode when the qeue is empty.

You can use a custom command line for that:
Code:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Standby

or
Code:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate

Thank you. I'll use that command line for now but it would be nice if it would become a clickable option.

Thanks for your info though!

The command line with hibernate in it didn't work.
Maybe the one with 'Standby' works. I'll try it next time

There's a better way to Hibernate anyway:

Code:
shutdown /h /f

You may have Hibernate disabled. What version of Windows do you have? In XP, open the control panel, Power Options, on the Hibernate tab, check the "Enable hibernation" box. If it's already enabled, open a command line, Start>Run: cmd. Type "shutdown /h" (no quotes) and see if it gives you an error message.

Hibernating was indeed disabled. I activated it now and the command line works.
Thanks for helping me!

Did hibernate disable itself after the reboot? Did you try both commands? What happens when you run them manually on an open command line, does it give you an error message?
