Powering off a pc.

You should be able to use Macro Scheduler's Libfunc> to call Windows API library functions.
Look up ExitWindowsEx On the Microsoft website for power down options.
The following example shuts down all processes and logs off the current user.

LibFunc>user32,ExitWindowsEx,EWEres,0,1

Look up SetSuspendState On the Microsoft website for hibernate options.
I did not try to come up with a hibernate example. Sorry.
