how do i pause script by right click systray icon while script is doing "sleep(5000)" ? (i can exit the script but not pause it)

Just like a human, AutoIt does not pay attention to input from outside while sleeping.

trancexx and monoceres posted a code here (execute in different thread). maybe this can help you.

...or simply replace Sleep(5000) by

Local $dummy = TimerInit()
While TimerDiff($dummy) < 5000
 Sleep(20) 
Wend

this will give AutoIt the opportunity to check if you paused your script

(which, BTW, you can do with a single left click on the tray icon)
