how to make host standby?

I haven't seen anything about forcing the host computer
to standby.
I travel frequently and access my home computer
often...when done with each remote desktop session I
would like to force the host into standby mode to save on
energy and avoid excess heat generated.
In the remote dektop session, the only options are to
logoff or disconnect. I don't need to shutdown the host
computer, but I would like to put it in standby at will
rather than wait for the preset power settings to take
effect.
I have the host set to wake-on LAN, so that I can easily
access it at my next travel spot.
Any command line stuff or other way to enable standby?

Take a look at http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBM/tip6400/rh6465.htm for
information on how to do standby mode remotely... However, I cannot
vouch that you will get the desired operation from your WOL...

interesting, unfortunately my host hibernates even though
the setting described should make it go into stanby.
Hopefully I'll find a different command line solution
that will force standby...
