Reply With Quotenice, very nice.
good work. Will be watching how it goes.
I made this tool this weekend, and I thought I would share it with some others on the board here.
It is designed to be used like the Startup folder in windows, you just put shortcts to programs you want to run in it, except that it can also run links when the computer goes to battery, goes to AC power, before hibernate/suspend, after resume, and also startup and shutdown.
I made a vb script a while ago that would disable my touchscreen before I went into hibernate, then re enable it coming back (that is the only way I could get it to survive without physically unplugging it).
I also had a program run when I went to battery power (I use a laptop) to force hibernation at a specific time (some apps prevent my computer from going into hibernation).
My VB script stopped working for some reason, and I decided to do it right this time.
Anyway, check it out if you are interested http://www.exitzer0.com/
nice, very nice.

nice work!
What happens if I run a very long script/process upon hibernation? For example, it my process takes 4 mins to complete, will it hibernate after completion?
In general, I think after you initiate a hibernation (or shutdown etc), any process you kick off needs to complete after 30 seconds, otherwise the process will become 'Application not reponding'

Just read the ReadMe, which addresses my question...
I think I still prefer the Interceptor tool that FRODO has coded. (Search forums if you're interested)* The Suspend folder is processed when you standby or hibernate. The time for this to occur is fairly quick, so make sure that anything in this folder will execute quickly, or it may still be running on resume
EDIT: FRODO coded it, sorry!!!!

no problem, I made it for myself mainly
I actually detect the battery status, then run commands (sync, etc) then when that is done, run hibernate
hibernate just disables my touchscreen.
you only get an app not responding on shutdown, not on hibernate (on hibernate it will just hibernate anyway).
It should work for long scripts on shutdown, and I could do the same for suspend/hibernate, but it is a little screwy, and I dont need it personally
How do you detect "when that is done"? Do you wait for the app to just close itself? What syncing app are you using?I actually detect the battery status, then run commands (sync, etc) then when that is done, run hibernate
I'm very interested in this. Thanks.
i was using rsync, but i have just recently switched to unison, though i havent decided if it is better or not yet,
I just have a single script that runs on battery that checks to make sure we are still on battery when it is done, and if so, hibernates
I have made my own software version simular to this
Shutdown Controller Software
Is there a place to still download this program?
