I have a laptop I want to use for my mp3car setup.
I want it to hibernate when I turn off the power to the power brick. The brick will be connected to an inverter, turned on by a relay. When the inverter turns off, I want the laptop to detect its going into battery mode, and then hibernate IMMEDIATELY.
I found out how to do it in windows, but it makes it waite a minute. I want it to happen right now.
Any ideas?

Unless you want to write a custom program to send windows a hibernate command when the computer switches to battery power, then that's about as good as you are going to get.
Is a minute that long to wait ?!!
Anyway, you can view this as a plus, say you accidently turn it off, if you turn it back on before the minute is up, it never hibernates.

Actually - if I were you I would set it to wait for at least 5 or 10 minutes. You do not want your computer rebooting or hibernating every time you stop for petrol or whatever!

Actually -- i already wrote a program for my carputer (not built yet) that does exactly this .. email me (brad@comptonsunshine.com) and I'll hook you up... it works great!
