Preventing Win7 sleeping while running command line apps

Vista 7 x64 didn't have this issue. Handbrake encoding launches a command line app in a dos box for the actual encoding. CPU usage is obviously very high during the encode(s), but Win7 x64 will still enter sleep. I know Handbrake itself could be coded to prevent sleep during encodes, but the behavior is obviously different between Vista and Win7.

Of course I can disable sleep in the power control panel, but it's less than ideal - for example I might have 12 hours of encodes but don't want to leave the computer on for the other 36 over a weekend. Any ideas?
 
try putting shutdown /s at the end of your encoding batch file?

it'll do a full shutdown.. not a sleep. dunno how to help you on sleep. but better than nothing?
