@Russ Appears it decided to start working again. I hadn't done anything and the other day I tested it and it worked. I'm unsure what was stopping it from working but it seems good for now.

@Russ I have psshutdown installed already. It worked fine until recently where it just stopped same with the foreground commands. I changed the foreground commands to batch files and they work fine now it's just the psshutdown fails to work. I changed the command to specify the PATH and it still doesn't work.

@Russ I'm using the same command, however it just won't work.

psshutdown -d -t 10

@Russ Are you able to help?

@Forbidden-Duck
I've fixed the foreground commands, I just had to make a bat file which changed the directory to Windows\System32 and it worked. However, I'm having issues with sleep mode. I made the bat file for it, if I run it as Admin it works fine, however it doesn't work with the background service and just having the plain command in the background command doesn't work either. I don't know why.

I just tested the foreground commands and they don't work either

I've had my Sleep Mode command working for about a month with no issues. It uses the background service to allow the command to put my computer to sleep. However, recently the command straight up stopped working and the background service is running. I'm unsure what the cause is. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

@Russ
It appears the service doesn't want to startup properly now. I have to manually start it up myself. Currently it's set as Automatic.
and abort sleep isn't being discovered by my alexa.

@Russ
Yea SYSTEM has access to that. That is odd that it's doing that. However it appears its working on the User Account, I suppose I'll keep it like that.

@Russ
Tried it with the User Account. Works fine, didn't stop.

@Russ
Event Viewer says it terminated unexpectedly.

debug.log doesn't say anything about it.

@Russ
I uninstalled the background services, rebooted and installed it again. Still having the same issue. Just stops after 10 seconds.

@Russ
Ok, I got psshutdown working properly however the service isn't working properly. I went to services and noticed it wasn't running so I started it. After about 10 seconds it stopped itself. I reinstalled the background service and tried again. Same result.

Hello,
I've spent a while trying to get a command which triggers the computers Sleep (not hibernation). I have psshutdown command working correctly however it requires Administration.

I clicked install on background service, no dialog came up about it other the permission to allow Node.JS to do something. I checked the debug.log all it says is

Installing background service
Installing background service.
Installing service.

I have tried numerous attempts to run the command non succeeded would love some help.
