Will computer sleep while batch file is running?

I'm trying to set up a batch file that will defragment my computer,
create a time log when it finishes, and then shutdown. I'm wondering if
my laptop will go to sleep during this process since it is set to sleep
after 15 minutes of being idle when plugged in. If so, how can I prevent
this so that the batch file can complete? This is my code so far and I'm
running on Vista:

@ECHO OFF
REM Defrag C: drive, with full defrag and forced in nec.
START "" /WAIT %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DEFRAG C: -W -F
REM Creating log file of time.
ECHO. |TIME > TIME
COPY LOG +TIME
REM Now shut down, forcing apps closed if necessary
START "" /WAIT %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\SHUTDOWN /S /F
:END

(If something doesn't seem right in the code, please let me know).

Thanks in advance!

Rather than doing the shutdown from a script, set the system to do a defrag
in a logoff script (.bat file).
Start/run, type GPEDIT.MSC and set the bat file in the logoff script there.

I've read about the GPedit.msc file already and I don't have it on my
computer (I think I'm probably running the Vista Home version so it
doesn't come with it after SP1).

It doesn't come with either Home Basic or Home Premium. I have no idea
why it was recommended without first asking you what version you have.

You should look at taskschd.msc. Scheduling a defrag with a trigger of 'when
a user disconnects' might do your job on Home. If you change users a lot,
it might not be convenient to kill that task every time .

After you finish the defrag task, you get a checkbox to open the Properties,
where the Triggers tab, Edit button, drop box can be to set to 'when a user
disconnects from a session'
