Putting a computer to sleep on a timer using a batch file.

Hi Lovejoy89,

Please, could you replace the line "timeout 72000 > NUL" (these are 20 hours) for the next below:

@echo off

echo %time%

timeout /T 7200 && rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

echo %time%

I hope to operate fine now. Please, tell us the results.

That's what I was looking for, thank you so much!

Hi Lovejoy89,

I think that you can use the batch file with the next instructions, according to your description:

@echo off

echo %time%

timeout 72000 > NUL

echo %time%

Note: If you use "timeout 72000" the system request confirm, with "> NUL" is automatic.

I hope to help you. Please, tell us the results.

It didn't do anything. Thank you for your attempt though!
