Hi everyone.
I'm looking for a way to set my Windows XP computer to hybernate with a gesture. Anybody has a hint for me? On Google i found a command to use hybernate as a shortcut: %systemroot%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState

I put this together and it works for me on Windows 8.1, though MSDN states it should work for WinXP as well:

Under Global Lua:
powrprof = alien.core.load("powrprof.dll")

gSetSuspendState = powrprof.SetSuspendState
gSetSuspendState:types{ret = 'long', abi = 'stdcall', 'long', 'long', 'long'}
function aSetSuspendState(Hibernate, ForceCritical, DisableWakeEvent)
	return gSetSuspendState(Hibernate, ForceCritical, DisableWakeEvent)
end

Action Lua Script:
local bHibernate = true
local bForceCritical = true
local bDisableWakeEvent = false

aSetSuspendState(bHibernate, bForceCritical, bDisableWakeEvent)


See this link for the specifics regarding the three possible parameters:

Thank you very much for your help. The script seems to work but the computer just suspends instead of hybernating. If I set the computer to hybernate manually (Shift Click on Standby) it hybernates correctly.

Have you tried setting the second parameter (bForceCritical) to false? The documentation isn't clear, but suggests it may cause a suspend to be invoked.
local bHibernate = true
local bForceCritical = false
local bDisableWakeEvent = false

aSetSuspendState(bHibernate, bForceCritical, bDisableWakeEvent)

I just tried to set bForceCritical to false but I get the same effect.

Hmm, I'm not sure why that doesn't work as it seems the MSDN documentation states that's what it should do!

I'll get back to you if I have any other ideas; though you may do some searches to see if there's a small utility program you can call from S+...such as http://nircmd.nirsoft.net/hibernate.html

Thank you for your support. I'll try out the way with a utility. Seems to be the easiest way:)
