[X-Unix] trigger software suspend (aka hibernation mode) from Terminal?

[Rick Gordon]

I haven't tried this, but see this MacWorld article delineating the terminal commands for the various sleep modes, plus releasing the RAM after setting the mode.

<http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2006/10/sleepmode/index.php?pf=1>

It would seem as though you could set the commands into a shellscript and set it as a cron job.
