command-line-interfacesuspendwindows
On Windows, there's the shutdown cmd line, but is there a windows command line command to call a "standby"?
What I'd really like is to call something like standby -force to force a system to enter standby even when a pesky app is trying to prevent it.
ping -a w.x.y.z
Should resolve the name from the IP address if the reverse lookup zone has been set up properly. If the reverse lookup zone does not have an entry for the record, the -a will just ping without a name.
