As I have stated in the PM you've sent me I will reply on the forum.

Did you search the forum? I'm sure you'll get a lot of hits when searching for "start service" or something similar.

i found to start/stop service manual when i open script work

but to start service when computer is idle and stop when it’s used i didn't found anything

[PrX]

can this code work like this?

 

#include <Timers.au3>

While 1
   Sleep(10)
   $idleTimer = _Timer_GetIdleTime()
   If $idleTimer > 10000 And Not RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net stop ServiceName', "", @SW_HIDE)
   RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net start ServiceName', "", @SW_HIDE)

   ElseIf $idleTimer < 10 Then
      RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net stop ServiceName', "", @SW_HIDE)
   EndIf  
WEnd

I would start with something like this:

#include <Timers.au3>
Global $iIdleTimer, $bStarted = False
While 1
   Sleep(10)
   $iIdleTimer = _Timer_GetIdleTime()
   ; Start service if idle and service not already started
   If $iIdleTimer > 10000 And $bStarted = False Then
       RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net start ServiceName', "", @SW_HIDE)
       $bStarted = True
   EndIf
   ; Stop service if not idle and service already running
   If $iIdleTimer < 10 And $bStarted = True Then
      RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net stop ServiceName', "", @SW_HIDE)
      $bStarted = False
   EndIf  
WEnd

Got error 

 

#include <Timers.au3>
Global $iIdleTimer, $bStarted = False
While 1
   Sleep(10)
   $iIdleTimer = _Timer_GetIdleTime()
   ; Start service if idle and service not already started
   If $iIdleTimer > 10000 And $bStarted = False Then
       RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net start ServiceName', "", @SW_HIDE)
       $bStarted = True
   EndIf
   ; Stop service if not idle and service already running
   If $idleTimer < 10 And $bStarted = True Then
      RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net stop ServiceName', "", @SW_HIDE)
      $bStarted = False
   EndIf  
WEnd

Fixed the error in my post above. BTW: Wasn't too hard to find

What about this error 

[water]

Can you guess what is wrong?
The variable should be $iIdleTimer but the MsgBox talks about $idleTimer

[PrX]

#include <Timers.au3>

Global $iIdleTimer, $bStarted = False
While 1
   Sleep(10)
   $idleTimer = _Timer_GetIdleTime()
   ; Start service if idle and service not already started
   If $idleTimer > 10000 And $bStarted = False Then
       RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net start ServiceName', "", @SW_HIDE)
       $bStarted = True
   EndIf
   ; Stop service if not idle and service already running
   If $idleTimer < 10 And $bStarted = True Then
      RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net stop ServiceName', "", @SW_HIDE)
      $bStarted = False
   EndIf  
WEnd

Thank you, worked now

I would do it the other way round. In most AutoIt scripts the first character denotes the content type (i for Integer, s for String ...). Details can be found in the wiki.

You might want to change the name of the global variable as well 😉
