[Guest]

hi, how can i shtudown my computer after a certain program program exits, for
examples i have this code

Dim withevents defrag as new process
Dim defragSI as new processstartinfo("C:\windows\system32\dfrag.msc")

then i have a "defrag has exited" event, so how can i have my computer
shutdown when this command executes?

In addition to Ken's reply:

\\\
Dim p As Process = Process.Start("C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\defrag.msc")
p.WaitForExit()
ShutdownMachine()

Maybe you can find a solution by starting "defrag.exe" instead of the
Management Console.

Did you already try 'Process.WaitForExit' as shown in my sample?

i would but defrag doesnt exit once its done defragging, so it would just sit
there

hmm is this still about the auto defrag

well i have some info , that might be of help

with these scripts found here you can do exactly what you want

http://www.compu-docs.com/W2KDfrag.htm

if you want to write it pure in VB that is no problem ,,, as you only have
to start the defrag service , give it the main focus , send the apropriate
keys , and read the window caption to see if it is finished the parameters
can be found in these scripts
