Stop Service before Standby/Hibernate

[Gary Johnson]

Hi

Is there any way to attach a script/command file to run when my laptop
is about to enter Standby/Hibernate? Similarly for when the machine
comes back from standby/hibernate?

I have some annoying services (Linksys Media Adapter) that prevent the
machine from standby/hibernate so it would be great if these services
could be automatically shutdown.

Many thanks
Gary

Hi

Take a look at this thread for a script solution that might work
for you:

Hi

And change the oShell.Run statements that starts calc.exe and
notepad.exe in the example script with this:


oShell.Run "net.exe stop ""some service name""", 1, True

oShell.Run "net.exe start ""some service name""", 1, True

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it seems that the service
rejects the suspend request before the event you suggest is fired.

In the event log I get 'The service "XWPCHostService" vetoed a power
event request.'

Any ideas of a different event I could listen for?

Sorry, I don't know...
