Run a program before windows close

[Borje 0]

Hi all Autoit freinds

I need some help with a command that checks when I close the windows a program should run

before windows close. I think it must be some check that detect some process and when the criteria is meet

than the cleaning start before the close process continue..

Is that possible?

Perhaps someone can give a example many thanks.

Search the forum for "windows shutdown" and you'll find a lot of entries.

One way ist to change the group policy as described in this post.

FileWare has a free utility called LastChance that intercepts after the user has seleceted shutdown/reboot/logoff and runs whatever program you select.

Just register WM_ENDSESSION message. There are plenty of examples around.

edit:

Just as a side note, we are on programming forum. We should share code, not utilities or whatever.

Thanks all for the tips...

I am not so shure what i must do I am not so familiar with WM_ENDSESSION command perhaps someone have som idea..

I want to have a function that check if I press the close button or shutdown(5) then hook the close process and run my backup and

then continue the close process.

Search the forum for WM_ENDSESSION (as I've done) and you'll find examples like this.

I have test that exaple that water link to but the only way to have that to work is when the window logout or restart or close is visible

but not if I send a command shutdown(5) from a script, is that possible to do that?

Is it possible that you still haven't figured out what's expected of you?

I have test the example that water link to, and thats works if a press the button start and then go to close

but if I do a little script with command shutdown(5) an running that not working, so my question is are that possible

to do something to have that working too?
