power-saving mode

[gusl]

If you leave your computer processing data overnight, will it know not to hibernate? Or will the program running need to emulate mouse movements?

On a mac you can just set it not to hibernate via system preferences.

I'm sure there's some way to do that for a PC. Unless, err, there's not.

Go to Power Options in Control Panel and turn off Hibernate. Windows power management usually gets input from interrupt requests like network activity and mouse/key input.

The point is that it should still hibernate when my code is not running.

Go to Power Options in Control Panel and turn on Hibernate, after your code has completed running. What does your code do?

The idea is to go home, and leave the code running at work (it's data-crunching, intensively)... without having to change my default hibernation settings.

Maybe I could instruct that hibernation not happen until this process dies.

I'm not sure about this, but I think a high CPU load average during processing will prevent ACPI from kicking in anyway.

If you figure out how to do this, please let me know. Windows scripting is an arcane art.
