Greetings Fellow Monks!
In a nutshell, I would like to automate placing Windows, in the case Win2000, into standby. The code I have assembled
below is for automatic rebooting which works cleanly including a warning window of impending shutdown. I put this in the scheduler for unattended auto rebooting of a remote computer.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Win32;
Win32::InitiateSystemShutdown( '', "\nWARNING\!\!\n\nSystem is about t
+o Reboot\!\n\(The system will reboot in 30 seconds.\)", 30, 1, 1 );
This is what I would call it's "countermeasure" (in case you want to abort a reboot that is about to occur:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Win32;
$machineName="";
Win32::AbortSystemShutdown($machineName);
I want to create something simliar to the first script shown above except it simply puts the computer in standby or sleep mode. I did a little digging but didn't find anything that was quite obvious right off the bat. Perhaps, maybe this falls into the realm of Windows Scripting, which I am not all that familiar with, but I am willing to adapt; hoping for a perl solution. Any help/insight that can be provided will great!
Thank you in advance for your help and wisdom in this matter!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>

-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
