Hibernate Trigger is a small application that detects whenever the system is put into suspend or hibernation mode.

When the system starts going into suspend, Hibernate Trigger will halt the Suspend operation and execute a command of your choice. Also, when the system resumes, hibernate will execute a command of your choice.

The program you supply to be executed can be specified using a full path, or if it is within your path environment variable, you can simply specify the filename. Of course after the filename you can specify command line arguments. If you attempt to run something other than an .exe file, Windows will look and see what program is associated with that file's type and open it using that program.

For example if you choose a .doc file, Word will open with the .doc file. One cool thing about this is you can therefore use Hibernate Trigger to run your own perl scripts.

Note that during the suspend operation, the program can only stall Windows for a maximum of 20 Seconds before Windows will assume that it must be hung, and will forcefully terminate it.

Suspend Trigger will only allow the Operating System to resume its hibernation process when the program that you call quits, so make certain that it will quit immediately after finishing some simple processing task. There is no limit for how long a program started after resume can run.

If you want to use Hibernate Trigger in a car computer system, chances are you do not want to minimize the application every time it starts. For that reason there is now an option to have it start minimized to the system tray.
