[QUOTE="QuikSilverRS91, post: 6854120, member: 552763"] Depending on your operating system the timed hibernation shouldn't really be that hard. I would just be careful you don't drain your battery in doing so. Actually, the battery thing could be an idea. Maybe you could find a small battery and wire it up with a relay so that it could power the computer once the car is turned off? If you figure out the size and all that properly you could probably get one that would work for roughly 30 minutes or so. Another option could be to use a time delay relay. The ELK-960 is used for home application, but it handles 12V so I'm sure you could manipulate it to work in your situation. It can take an input signal and translate that into a delayed output for up to 60 minutes (adjustable).
