Does you friend have a newer Mac (Powerbook G4 SD and newer)? If so, I would tell him to just put it to sleep. By default the contents of RAM is written to a disk image. Details on Safe Sleep can be found here:

You can even enable it on slighter older machines.  Here is a write up:

If he still insists, maybe you can force the hibernate function to occur at Shutdown as well.

Regards,

Todd
