Assumptions:

1. You're running 32-bit Windows; most notably tested has been Windows XP.
2. Hibernation is turned on and is properly working in your Windows setup. Check the Control Panel Power Options applet for more information.

Steps:

1. Right-click on an empty space on your Windows desktop and select New|Shortcut from the resulting pop-up context menu.
2. In the location of the item, type in
   

   %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 1

   Click next.

3. Type "Hibernate" or whatever you prefer as the title for the shortcut. Click Finish.

The directive works as well in programs.

Here's how to automatically rotate Abyss web server logs by month in 32-bit Windows.

Assumptions:

1. The Abyss web server log file is in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\log\access.log.
2. Windows has a yyyy/mm/dd date format from its Date and Time Control Panel applet.
3. Windows has a fully functioning Task Scheduler (all related services are running).

Steps:

1. Create a batch file with the following contents.

   for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/ " %%a in ("%DATE%") do (
   set yyyy=%%a
   set mm=%%b
   set dd=%%c)
   
   rem the order of %%a, %%b and %%c are system dependent! (control-panel, date/time settings)
   
   echo %dd%
   echo %mm%
   echo %yyyy%
   
   if not exist "ac%yyyy%%mm%.log" (
   net stop AbyssWebServer
   rem (move the log file in another folder, example: access.22.11.2005.log)
   ren "access.log" "ac%yyyy%%mm%.log"
   rem (Abyss start and create a new log file)
   net start AbyssWebServer
   )
   pause

2. Create a multiple time scheduled task (or make it run daily) to run the above batch file.
3. Test the damn thing and smile to the world around you to make it a little better.
