Help with custom Sleep command

[fullklax]

I have VBScripts playing a sound that fire up when I: Log on, Lock, and Unlock my PC (via task scheduler). I'm on Win10.

However, when I put my PC to sleep, it borks the 'lock' script, because the sound doesn't have time to play before the PC is suspended, so I get an error after I wake it up and unlock it. And I've found no way to delay the sleep command, other than firing it myself manually, when I want it to (at the press of a 'Sleep' button, but only after executing some VB code).

So I figured this could work for me: I'd like to know the command used by OpenShell to put the PC to sleep (shown below), so I can use it in my script.

Also I believe this may help you identify exactly what kind of sleep or suspend I want to fire off:

Thank you for looking into this, and for maintaining such a great, and IMO indispensable utility <3

I'd like to know the command used by OpenShell to put the PC to sleep (shown below), so I can use it in my script.

SetSuspendState API is used on standard machines:
SetSuspendState(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);

On machines with connected standby there is NtPowerInformation used:
NtPowerInformation(ScreenOff, NULL, 0, NULL, 0);

Though you can also invoke Open-Shell's sleep command directly via:
"C:\Program Files\Open-Shell\StartMenu.exe" -cmd sleep

Awesome, that works, thank you! I went the more round-about but simple way of using your implementation of it as per your last suggestion, and yep, works as intended.

Now I have another issue where I still want my task sheduler script to fire "at workstation lock" (when I hit Windows+L), but Sleep triggers a lock too, so now it fires twice, ugh... Guess I'll have to figure a way to fire it elsewhere than from task scheduler. Thanks again!
