From the question: Hibernate computer from command line on Windows 7, Phoshi's answer does it:

The hibernation time for cannot be set, unfortunately.

This works, though.

ping -n 20 127.0.0.1 > NUL 2>&1 && shutdown /h /f

The ping is a hackish way of delaying the action. -n 20 should wait for 20 seconds.

(the double && will allow you to do a ctrl+c to cancel the operation, if you use a simple & then ctl+c will make to automatically shutdown after pressing)
