TI Home 2010 option to shutdown

Thread needs solution

After upgrade from True Image Home 2009 to 2010, I no longer have the option to "shutdown after completion" of the backup. This was, in the 2009 version, a pop-up, displayed at start of backup.

Ideally it would be nice to have a setting to shutdown or standby or hibernate.

How can I execute an automatic shutdown on completion of a backup task?

I have tried to enter the shutdown -s following all the suggestions in this forum but without success.

That's odd, ATI 2010, I get the popup just before the reboot popup ...

Maurice,
I feel absolutely certain you can be successful if you create a batch file to do the job. Look at this post.

If you do not want to create a batch file try this in your Acronis post processing window.

%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f

Let us know the results of whatever you try. Thank you.

Does anyone know a post-processing command that will sleep or hibernate Window 7 rather than shut it down?

I've had some success issuing a call to a Macro Express .exe that runs a macro; however, that has inexplicably stopped working and I haven't yet determined whether the problem is with TrueImage Home or Macro Express.

Dave,
See if some of the Vista tricks will work Do a google search for
Windows&+"force hibernate"

Thanks, shutdown /h works from the command line. I'll let you know how I get on running it from True Image. I don't know how I missed that option for the shutdown command!
