OS Reboot, Shutdown, Hibernate, Sleep, Wakeup (Windows Python)

Question

I'm looking for an automatize way of doing Windows Power Management functions: - Reboot - Shutdown - Hibernate - Sleep - Wakeup

Is there a Python module to cover this functionality? Of course any other solutions are also appreciated...

Answer 1

I also went with the command line:

import os
os.system(r'%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate')

Answer 2

See win32api.ExitWindowsEx() ActiveState documentation.

to use this one you need to usectypessince looks like pywin32 does not implement it.

Wakeup? I doubt you can execute code while sleeping. :)
