Extend the hibernation and suspension options of your PC
WakeUp is a program developed by Noel Danjou that automates the hibernation and suspension of your PC. It is designed for computers that do not come preinstalled with an energy or power management scheme. With WakeUp, you can easily manage your energy use and extend the options added to the suspension of your computer.
The program offers five main functions: activating or deactivating hibernation, awakening the computer after a certain time, running an application when the computer is revived, suspending the computer at a specific time, and preventing it from suspending if there is network activity. These features enhance the usefulness of the suspension feature and give you more control over your PC's energy consumption.
However, one potential drawback of WakeUp is that it may conflict with your default power manager if you have a laptop or PC that came pre-installed with an energy scheme. This can result in your PC hibernating in strange ways or at the wrong moment. On the bright side, WakeUp is very easy to use and light on resources.
If you're frequently away from your PC and want to keep it cool or prevent the hard drive from burning out, WakeUp is an excellent tool to preserve your computer.
