How do I: run a application before standby/after resume

**strohj** · 02-07-2007, 08:48 AM

Hi,

I looked at my streetdeck install and found the following folders to automatically run applications during specific system events:

Exit
Launch
Resume
ExternalApps

I am trying to run a script to disabl my USB devices when I enter standby... i only want to run it when my system goes into Standby... not everytime I exit streetdeck

Can streetdeck do this? and if so.. which folder do I need to put my batch file in?

I don't think StreetDeck itself can.
However DEVCON can. It's a free tool by MS.
If SD's scripting won' allow you to run a command like only on entering standby, you can use AutoIT to achieve what you're looking for.

im using a batch feil that calls devcon to enable/disable my usb devices.. im just trying to figure out how to use streetdeck to call it on standby

I currently have a 3rd party app that does it.. but im trying to eliminate all the extra crap on my carpc

Just create a shortcut to the script or devcon or whatever you want to launch and put it in the SleepWait folder. It will only run when going into a suspend state.
