How to schedule hibernation On/Off so can run overnite once a week

<< < (3/3)

cthorpe:
If the whole wake on lan thing doesn't work, I still think the AHK scripts I posted above could do what you need.  Set up the hibernate off to run sometime during the day that you want the machine to be on over night.  Then have the hibernate on script run sometime after you are sure that the scheduled tasks will be completed.  It results in a little more power consumption than a WOL solution, but it works.

I tested the hibernate on/off scripts and as I expected it doesn't wake up at the set time.
In hibernate mode the machine's state is only "active" as the hibersys.fil on harddisk. You can pull the plug with no effect, it'll wake up as usual. I'm even not able to charge my cell phone on USB while in hibernate.
