update process will not run

[nadigo 0]

Hi,

I wrote a small script that is run in the tray and preform update functions every 6 and 24 hours.

The aim was to reduce cpu/memory so I only check the update status every 3 hours.

For some reason, the attached script works well for short times (few mins) but will NOT work for the 6-24 hours I need.

Since my computer is set to hibernate every 2 hours, the actual testing I made was to run the complied exe, wait that my computer will get into hibernation, wake it up few ours later, and wait for the update to run , nothing happed.

What am I missing ?

Thanks for the Help,

Nadigo

what's it doing?

Since my computer is set to hibernate every 2 hours, the actual testing I made was to run the complied exe, wait that my computer will get into hibernation, wake it up few ours later, and wait for the update to run , nothing happed.

is it not waking from hibernate, is it not doing your update?

after coming from hibernation it will not do the update.

ok, but it does wake up -that's a good thing. does the update portion work if you run it on its own?

when I run it manual via the tray item it works.

It seems like the condition:

If  _DateDiff("s", $iTimer, _NowCalc())  >=  10800  then  ; check the status every 3 hours  = 10800 sec
        $iTimer = _NowCalc()

is never met.

like the Global $iTimer = _NowCalc() is alway below 10800.

can it be that the $iTimer var is been 'lost' from memory after hibernation ?

or can it be that

$msg = TrayGetMsg()
    TrayItemSetState($msg, $TRAY_UNCHECKED)

is stock and will not get to the above condition ?

advise ?
