Hibernation scheduled task

I currently use Shutter.exe

http://www.den4b.com/screenshots.php?project=Shutter to hibernate my Sony

laptop at night and use a scheduled task to wake my laptop in the morning.

The reason i use Shutter. exe to hibernate the laptop is because when i tried

to run (rundll32.exe powrprof,setsuspendstate hibernate) as a scheduled task

it worked fine as far as hibernating the computer went but the computer

would no longer wake in the morning. For some reason rundll32.exe

powrprof,setsuspendstate hibernate would not allow my scheduled task wake

event to occur. However i was

reading a post and there was a link to this

page(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373201.aspx) on it and i see

that one of the parameters is a _Disable Wake Event_parameter. If this

parameter is true it will stop wake events. Could this be why my scheduled

task invoking the SetSuspendState dll was blocking my wake up task. If so can

somebody help me get it configured correctly so it will hibernate my laptop

and allow my wake up task to run also.
