Thanks your suggestion got me to finally find this Autoit user defined function "EventLog Management" which solved the problem

Hi All I have been searching for a way to get the duration(mSec) that my PC has been AWAKENED from either sleep or hibernation. The only references I find mention of in the forums are related to time(mSec) since restart. Anyone point me in the right direction? thanks Chris

Wow that worked a treat! Thanks jguinch it's appreciated! Curious how did you even know that? I'm guessing "Been there done that!!" ..lol

Hi.. I'm trying to run WBAdmin.exe the win7/win8 backup using autoit, in both code examples below I get C:WLD VMRC>wbadmin /? 'wbadmin' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. However when I run simply by manually opening a cmd prompt it will work C:Windowssystem32>wbadmin /? wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool © Copyright 2013 Microsoft Corporation.

Hi I finally have a script that isn't intermittent when the "timeout" doesn't work with msgbox, keep in mind that this script is launched automatically by "Windows Task Manager" into session 1 & when compiled is x86 & the latest version of Autoit 3.3.10.2 & the OS is Windows 8.1 64bit. Why would the MSGBOX not timeout on line No.38 with MsgBox(64,"","Not a Market Holiday! CONTINUING...",2) Any help appreciated, thx #pragma compile(FileVersion, 3.3.10.2) #pragma compile(Icon, C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Icons\au3.ico);au3script_v9.ico au3script_v10.ico #include <Date.au3> #include <Array.au3> Dim $aHolidays Local $sHolidays = "20131128,20131225,20140101,20140120,20140217,20140418,20140526,20140704,20140901,20141127,20141225,20150101,20150119,20150216,20150403,20150525,20150703,20150907,20151126,20151225,20160101,20160118,20160215,20160325,20160530,20160704,20160905,20161124,20161226" $aHolidays = StringSplit($sHolidays,",") $iWeekday = _DateToDayOfWeek (@YEAR, @MON, @MDAY);Returns Day of the Week Range is 1 to 7 where 1=Sunday If $iWeekday = 2 Then $iDateLast = _DateAdd( 'd',-3,_NowCalcDate());format YYYY/MM/DD ie Weekday = Monday(2) = Friday is last trading day Else If $iWeekday = 1 Then $iDateLast = _DateAdd( 'd',-2,_NowCalcDate());ie Weekday = Sunday(1) = Friday is last trading day Else $iDateLast = _DateAdd( 'd',-1,_NowCalcDate());ie All other days of the week subtract 1 Day!!

Thanks, clear enough , however previous autoit versions when using Ctrl+F7(SciTE) to compile an au3, there was no need to include any directives & compiling would automatically include the relevant info by default so now it has null defaults ie version = 0.0.0.0, icon default to a windows icon..etc. I guess I was wanting to know how to avoid including directives in the au3 script?

Hello Just updated Autoit to version 3.3.10.3 & now when compiling(Ctrl + F7) there is no default icon or "File version" number for the .exe How can I set these defaults(i.e to avoid browsing to the icon path or using Pragma directives #pragma compile(Icon, C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Icons\au3.ico in au3 script) & where can I find more info on Pragma & how it fits together with AutoIt3Wrapper (A Dummies version) Some forum searching gave this thread anything else: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> Documentation http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/directives/pragma-compile.htm

I run Win8.1(64bit) and compile au3 as x86(32bit) where could I start to troubleshoot msgbox's not timing out? I actually have to click a button (OK) for the msgbox to close & resume excuting the exe. These exe's are launched using Windows Task Manager. If I run the exe's manual or start them with Windows Task Manager Msgbox timeout is ok. It appears intimitently Any help appreciated Thanks Chris

Very nice, thanks. How would I be able to monitor "System Idle Process"

cameronsdad Great!! thx for your quick response u make this look easy.....

I have looked, leaving almost no stone unturned, does abody know a simple way, not just to filewriteline or filewrite, but to append an entire text file to another textfile, perhaps ClipPut/ClipGet with a $string variable, sorry I'm very new here, forgive my ignorance.
