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.

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.

I've used this with success: http://gammadyne.com/cmdline.htm#sleep
