postprocessing.bat hibernation

[ro76]

Hi,

I am using GBPVR very successfully on my PC, which I send into hibernation, and then it wakes up to perform GBPVR tasks such as recording, or updating the EPG.

I am trying to find a way to send it back into hibernation. I have a way of putting it into hibernation from dos with nircmd . Basically, I just need a way of running this command only when the PC is not in use. I don't want it hibernating if I am running other applications. I just need a way of saying "if computer inactive for >5 mins, run the nircmd hibernate" in DOS. That way it will not hibernate unless the machine is not in use.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ro

I use the power options in the control panel. There you have an option "system hibernates", which you can set to "after 5 minutes of inactivity". It works most of the time for me.

For those running XP, simply create a new shortcut, batch file, whatever and use the following command:

shutdown -s -t 00
