Due to not knowing where to post this I'll just put it here. Is it possible to send a hibernate on LAN similar but opposite to wake on LAN?

I use PsShutdown and WOL.
PsShutdown is from Sysinternals:

WOL is a utility from
They have 2 utilities, GUI and command line. As the Gui code did not work well for me (I posted about it in another area), I ended up using the command line (good ole trusty command line).

I use this to turn on the media PC when one walks into the Entertainment Room (send IR to turn on surround, prep TV through serial interface, turn on media PC).

does WOL power up a PC or just resume from hibernation?
the shutdown app that I use can't cope with apps that refuse to power off or present a pop-up.
The latest Adobe Reader (freeware) has a terrible bug in it - when used with FireFox, if you go to a non-responsive website, it hangs up forever. No way to kill it. Then when you later power-off, it hangs and causes a user-intervention in order to power off. I'm really mad at Adobe for this crap version.

PSShutdown can cope with it. You can force it to kill things after a certain amount of time. You can (I think) have it answer questions for you upon shutdown command. Although I'm not too certain of that last statement.

ah, I though WOL hardware and BIOS would not invoke what becomes a cold boot. I'm wrong, it says. Two PCs I've tried it on both left the power supply fan on when suspended or hibernated. Not what I wanted.
My current PC has ethernet on the motherboard and it does't support WOL. The BIOS does, but apparently you must plug in a PCI bus ethernet card with WOL.

Strange...when I hibernate my PC, it goes totally dead.
Then a WOL magic packet later, it's up, cold boots to where it pulls the hibernation data from the Hard drive.

Right, gotcha. I use hibernate...never had good experiences with Sleep modes and desktops.
