Run SyncToy on shutdown |
|
|
Hello,
Using scheduling it is possible to run synctoy on startup.
However, I would like to automatically start synctoy just before the system
shuts down. It this possible?
If not, can this feature be added to SyncToy?
Kind regards,
Michel. |

The following works for me:
' name synch.vbs
' notes runs synchtoy and puts PC in standby
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run """c:\windows\bugary.cmd"""
WScript.Sleep 5000
WshShell.Run """c:\windows\synctoy.cmd"""
WScript.Sleep 30000
WshShell.LogEvent 0, "Computer in Standby Mode."
WshShell.Run """c:\windows\shutdn.cmd"""
*************************************************************
:: name bugary.cmd
:: notes backup outlook.pst and favorites to My Documents
xcopy "c:\Documents and Settings\GARY\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\*.pst" "C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\My
Documents\Pst_Favs" /s /i /c /y
xcopy "c:\Documents and Settings\GARY\Favorites" "C:\Documents and

*************************************************************

synch.vbs is scheduled to run daily at 3:00 AM. On the settings tab, Wake

synch.vbs is placed on the desktop in order to manually run the script and
put the PC in stand-by.

Thanks Waggy! I'll try that, it's a good idea.
However, if Microsoft is watching, please give this functionality a try...

Xp can run scripts on shutdown or logoff. Type logoff scripts in help.

Hi Michel, scheduling SyncToy on events like startup and shut down is on the
feature request list for a future version. Thanks for the suggestion!
