There are two commands (available on the command line or within a
program). The first sets the "sleep time", which is the number of
minutes before the RCX will turn itself off (0 means never sleep). The
second requests that the RCX sleep immediately. However, for some odd
reason, sleeping immediately won't do anything if the sleep time is set
to 0.
From within a program:
SetSleepTime(15); // set sleep time to 15 minutes
SleepNow(); // sleep right now
From the command line:
Setting the sleep time to 15 minutes:
nqc -sleep 15
Sleeping right now (no built-in option, but you can use -raw to build
the packet manually):
nqc -raw 60
Combining both:
nqc -sleep 15 -raw 60
