@DavidPostill "Not a duplicate. The "duplicate" question doesn't address the time factor -- which is the real problem here." -- plus, the duplicate question is about hibernate, not shutdown

@jcollum ... duuuude

pinging every single mod you can find (and I'd add, unless I had commented, I wouldn't get that anyway), being somewhat... hostile sounding...

Might I introduce you to the flagging option on the site, which I'd add, I reject, since as I read it, they're dupes

"I'd like to hibernate my windows 7 pc in 10 hours" vs "I am trying to hibernate my computer from the command. I was using shutdown /s /t 20 to shutdown the the computer. I change /s to /h to hibernate and now it just returns the usage text as if it doesn't recognise what I have entered."

Your question is somewhat better writen

@JourneymanGeek well apparently the mods didn't get notified

@jcollum that's not how the @pings work at all?

so you can imagine why I'd be frustrated, since the mods weren't responding

yeah I obviously didn't know that

they work with users who've actually been involved in the question in terms of comments

The 'recommended' way to get something reopened, least when I was a non mod was to post a meta post, and/or flag

k

But its still a duplicate
