Re: Run SyncToy on shutdown

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

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
www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsShutdown.html



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.
