To be able to use the Shutdown command to have the computer go to Suspend / Hibernate mode. Low priority suggestion.

thanks,

You might want to try "Send, {Sleep}" with the latest version. I think it's the equivalent of pressing the sleep button on your keyboard or computer (if it has one). You might also be able to change what the Sleep button does (hibernate, suspend, etc.) using an OS setting, which I think I remember seeing somewhere.

I'd be interested to know if this is at all helpful. If it is, I will update the docs to mention it in the Shutdown notes.

The "Send, {Sleep}" does not work on my laptop. I found a website that has multiple excutables for instant suspend / hibernate.

hibernate(forced).exe
hibernate(neverforce).exe
Hibernate(waitthenforce).exe
suspend(forced).exe
suspend(nerverforce).exe
Suspend(waitthenforce).exe

So I just used the FileInstall to include the file in the AutoHotkey executable.

Even so, I'll put it further down on the to-list. It's something some people would probably want, so hopefully someday it will get done.

The 37KB file Wizmo provides standby, hibernate, logoff, reboot, and shutdown plus other stuff

had a look at this thread by chance... i'm sure the shutdown question is already solved, i'll still suggest some neat alternatives:

try these commands (sleep / hibernate still elusive to me):

Exit Windows
Run("RUNDLL32.EXE","USER.EXE,ExitWindows")

Restart Windows
Run("RUNDLL32.EXE","USER.EXE,ExitWindowsExec")

Logoff Windows 98 and run Explorer after relogon:
Run("RUNDLL32.EXE",SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 4")

I guess what beardboy has recommended (but doesn't want to share with me ) was this: Suspend.zip

Eheh. I should've looked here before I posted. http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7592&sid=e4b07ba99fdb951108161048a441d762#7592
Just a note though, the rundll32 commands are outdated in XP (They're still necessary in 9x, ME), shutdown.exe can be used instead. As for suspending, all you need is some vbscript. See my post in the linked thread. Btw, can vbscript be run from inside AHK scripts?

[Chris]

Actually, what I meant was can the extraneous vbs file be bypassed altogether? Can you actually put the code into the script and have it run internally, or is it still necessary to have the vbs file? And if it still is, then is there a way to amalgamate it using the AHK compiler?

[jonny]

FileInstall... (drooling)... Is there anything AHK can't do? Still, I'll be watching for that vbscript inclusion feature.

[exhueydriver]

I create *.vbs using FileAppend, just replace your <cr>'s with (`n)
i.e. (this is a GoSub)

VBScript:
FileAppend, Set objFM = WScript.CreateObject ("FMPRO.Application")`nobjFM.Visible=True `nSet objFMfiles = objFM.Documents.Open("%FileNamePath%"`,"")`nobjFMfiles.DoFMScript ("%ScriptName%")`nobjFM.Quit, C:\VBsAhkTest.vbs
Run, C:\VBsAhkTest.vbs
Sleep, 750
FileDelete, C:\VBsAhkTest.vbs

Don

I forgot to add, doing it this way, you can pass variables into the .vbs, as you can see in the above.

OMG I never thought of that! That's awesome! Time to go brainstorm the implications...

Aha! People of the AutoHotkey forum, I give you: The vbs2ahk converter! It's really not significant enough to warrant it's own thread, but hey, maybe someone will find it useful. If someone actually cares, I can spiff it up a bit, maybe add support for multiple files at once, and then release it.
