Re: Macro to place stystem into stand-by?
if you want to do this on a schedule, the best way is with windows built in functions. For the wakeup I think it's the only option.
What you are looking for is called task scheduler. How it works will vary depending what operating system you are using.
you can use a command line call like this: rundll32 powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
to put the computer to sleep, though if you have hibernation enabled it might cause the computer to hibernate rather than sleep.
to wake it up, you can set any kind of simple task in the task scheduler (like opening explorer, running a .bat file etc)
somewhere in the task scheduler you will find an option "wake computer to run this task".
In some cases you can also set your computer to always wake at a certain time in the bios. You would have to experiment with that, I'm not sure how well it works, and it will depend on your motherboard.
As for getting the timer plugin to work in eventGhost, maybe you should describe what you tried to do to get it to work. Then someone might be able to tell you what you did wrong.
