0.4.0RC2 Standby yields Hibernate

[elfurbe]

I tried out the "On queue finish: Standby PC" action, and ended up with a hibernated computer instead.  It's not the end of the world, but I do so prefer the speedy return from sleep to the long trudge from hibernate.

I'm running Vista and I know they mucked about with the sleep/hibernate stuff in Vista, cooking up this "Hybrid Sleep" model, so perhaps there's a different way to trigger standby/sleep now?  I know I haven't been able to get it to sleep from the command line without a third-party app.

We just followed the Windows documentation...
It is of course possible to run a script at the end of the queue and have it run your third-party utility.
Do you have one that works OK? We might learn from that.

If you can live without hibernation, turn it off and the machine should standby.

Failing that, this may help: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/51 ... 85330.html

I don't see a way to turn off hibernate in Vista.  There's "Hybrid Sleep" now, which I have on, but my understanding of Hybrid Sleep is that it always drops the machine to standby state, it just dupes memory to disk before hand so you can get a hibernation-style recovery if you have a power failure during sleep.
