Lights-out, remotely

Ever been logged in to a computer via Remote Desktop, and wanted to put said computer into Hibernate mode? Yeah, neither had I, until today. I was running an experiment in the electronics lab and wanted to put my laptop (back at my desk) into hibernation, in preparation for heading to class later.

A quick Google search later, I found the answer:
rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate

Have fun!
