Run SyncToy on shutdown

[Guest]

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
Settings\Gary\My Documents\Pst_Favs" /s /i /c /y



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



:: name synctoy.cmd

:: notes run synctoy



"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\SyncToy\SyncToy.exe" -R"My Documents Backup"



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



:: name shutdn.cmd

:: note1 puts pc in standby

:: note2 psshutdown available at

psshutdown -d -t 5

synch.vbs is scheduled to run daily at 3:00 AM. On the settings tab, Wake
the computer to run this task is checked. Additionally, a shortcut to
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...

Regards, Michel.

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!
