Wake your computer on Standby or Hibernate

Did you know that it is possible to wake up your system from a Stand-by mode or Hibernation programmatically? WakeupOnStandBy is a simple utility that will do it for you. Once activated it resides in the system and wakes it up at predefined time, runs a file and if necessary sends it into Stand-by mode, hibernates it or shuts it down. It can also be used to run scheduled operations every day, or on specific day(s).

Special features:

• Can restore almost every Windows-based operating system from a Stand-by mode (and some from hibernation) that support ACPI (Advanced
  Configuration and Power Interface) (For support check computer's BIOS as well as Control Panel -> Power Options)
• Can run a file or open a web page at a predetermined time after a wake-up event, during normal operation, or before performing power operation
• Can send system back to Stand-by mode (hibernate it, shut it down, or log off user) after a certain time interval
• Can detect if Stand-by mode (or hibernation) is supported by your system
• Can turn the monitor on and hold off screen-saver during the waiting time;
  Can repair local area network and high-speed Internet connection upon waking up from a suspended state
• Can send system into Stand-by mode or hibernate it with more options than available through Operating System
• Can be incorporated into an in-car (entertainment) PC system to speed up booting time & save battery [more here]
• Can be run from the Windows Command Line without user interaction
• Can be saved as a batch file for later use.
