Thanks Tim. That did the trick. I need to do more digging on MSDN. Most of the google results I hit were people trying to prevent standby/hibernate. Thanks again.

You need the SetSystemPowerState [1] function from kernel32. (And your process will need to enable SeShutdown as well). <code> import ctypes import win32api import win32security # # Enable the SeShutdown privilege (which must be present in your # token in the first place) # priv_flags = win32security.TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | win32security.TOKEN_QUERY hToken = win32security.OpenProcessToken ( win32api.GetCurrentProcess (), priv_flags ) priv_id = win32security.LookupPrivilegeValue ( None, win32security.SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME ) old_privs = win32security.AdjustTokenPrivileges ( hToken, 0, [(privilege_id, win32security.SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED)] ) # # Params: # True=> Standby; False=> Hibernate # True=> Force closedown; False=> Don't force # ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetSystemPowerState (True, True) </code> TJG [1] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373206(VS.85).aspx _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
