Running a program after computer wake up


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I usually put my computer in standby when I am not working on it. It would like to run a program each time I wake the computer up. How can I do this?

thx.

Maybe there is a solution via WMI, I don't know.

Or code a program that overwrites periodically a TXT file with the value of _nowcalc(). Then read it again at the beginning of the next loop. In case the difference is e.g. more than 3 times of the delay you coded, assume that the computer was not up, then do, what you want.

If it shall do it's job even when no current logon is active, use srvany.exe / instsrv.exe to run it as a service.

REgards, Rudi.

Hi gertsolo

I took rudi's suggestion twisted it a little and made this.

;Script to check if computer was put to sleep
#include <Date.au3>

Local $interval = 30 ; Seconds
Local $intervalMilliSeconds = $interval * 1000

Local $now = _NowCalc()
While 1
    Sleep($intervalMilliSeconds)
    ConsoleWrite(_DateDiff("s", $now, _NowCalc()) & @cr)
    If _DateDiff("s", $now, _NowCalc()) > ($interval + 10) Then
        ; Gave a 10 second margine for error
        MsgBox(0, "Wakey Wakey", "I feel so refreshed :-)")
    EndIf
    $now = _NowCalc()
WEnd

As long as you don't mind the script staying memory resident it will sleep for $interval seconds (So isn't CPU intensive).

When it exits the sleep it does a quick check to make sure no more than $interval seconds have passed (With 10 seconds margin) and if it has...WAKEY WAKEY :-)

Not exactly a world shattering piece of code but should do what you want.

Good Luck

Posted this before, but just run it and go into standby. Returning from standby you will get a MsgBox()

Hi Jos.

Posted this before, ...

GUIRegisterMsg()

I wasn't aware of this 'Windows Message ID (WM_MSG).'

Do you know a URL of all the available WM_MSG's? At MS Developers pages I couldn't find such a list, nor with Dr. Google: Just articles describing basic lists.

Thanks for sharing, Rudi.

Now see I knew that would happen. The thread sits arounds for 2 days with no answer I jump in wiht a bit of quick code and in comes someone else with a more elegant solution....grrrrrrr :)

Thanks Jos I've been looking for something like this for myself which is why I thought I'd have a go.

Don't tell anyone but I like your solution better. :)

Thanks

thanks all, I will try it right away.

I tried it but don't seem to get it working. Is the code good as it is or should I change or add something?

btw I get these parameters

17:18:48: 0x00000004

17:28:15: 0x00000012

17:30:56: 0x00000000

17:30:57: 0x00000004

17:32:25: 0x00000012

I would say that you seem to have to Test for PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC ?

Thanks Jos, that did the trick.
