Is there a way I can temporarilly suspend a shutdown or logoff initiated from the start button from within AHK? I want my script to run a backup program (takes 15-30 seconds) before the shutdown. I can sometimes get the backup going using OnExit but the normal windows shutdown process continues on and kills it. Other times it won't even start because windows is shutting down. Seems to be a timing issue.

What I'd like to do is something like this...
Code:
OnExit,OnExitRoutine

OnExitRoutine:
  If A_ExitReason in Logoff,Shutdown
  {
    ; Suspend logoff/shutdown process somehow???
    Shutdown,-1 ; just a suggestion for syntax
    ; Do the backup
    RunWait,C:\Program Files\....
    ; Resume logoff/shutdown process
    If A_ExitReason = Logoff
      Shutdown,0
    If A_ExitReason = Shutdown
      Shutdown,1
  }
ExitApp

Below is a script that comes close. The main problem is that on Windows NT/2000/XP, a shutdown/logoff causes applications to begin to close immediately (the order of closure might be in reverse order of startup but I'm not sure if this can be relied upon). Consequently, if your backup program is not designed to abort the shutdown, it may close in the middle of its operation before the script has a chance to abort the shutdown.

Anyway, the following is a working demonstration script.
Code:
#Persistent
OnMessage(0x11, "WM_QUERYENDSESSION")
return

WM_QUERYENDSESSION(wParam, lParam)
{
   ENDSESSION_LOGOFF = 0x80000000
   if (lParam & ENDSESSION_LOGOFF)  ; User is logging off.
      EventType = Logoff
   else  ; System is either shutting down or restarting.
      EventType = Shutdown
   MsgBox, 4,, %EventType% in progress.  Allow it?
   IfMsgBox, YES
      return true  ; Tell the OS to allow the shutdown/logoff to continue.
   else
      return false  ; Tell the OS to abort the shutdown/logoff.
}

Hi!
No need to go through all that.
This is how I do these Logon/Off Jobs.

Prepare your script/Program (whatevever you want to run)
Start Group policy --- at the run command (Start - Run) type gpedit.msc
Open User Configuration then window settings.
Then Scripts (Logon/Logoff)
Click on Logoff Click Properties

Add whatever you want to run here (can also take parameters)

That's it

Can be used for users or system both On and Off

Hope this helps

bahri

Sorry reviving this Topic, but I'm interested in doing this, Pausing the logOff and Shutdown of Windows...

The problem is:
the lParam onlyd etects if the windows is logging off or ShutingDown. What about Restarting?
I have a script that has to run for about 5secs after shuttingdown. So I use that on massage and imediatly return False. But then I send a shutdown command... At that time I can't know If I was shuttingdown or restarting :S

Any Ideas?

Code:
#persistent
OnMessage(0x11, "WM_QUERYENDSESSION")
return

WM_QUERYENDSESSION(wParam, lParam)
{
    global lpar
    lpar=%lParam%
    settimer, ps_loggingoff, 100, 9999
    return false
}
return

ps_loggingoff:

(about 5 Secs long)

if lPar
    shutdown, 0
else
    shutdown, 1
exitapp

I seem to remember that this part of the API provides no means of distinguishing between Shutdown and Restart. There may be some other way to detect it, but I don't know it.

Hi,

is there a way to add/remove a logon-script with AutoHotkey? I've XP Home which does not have gpedit.msc.

Hi,

I've found something here: http://www.snugserver.com/phpbb2/viewto ... highlight=

But how to get the SID in AutoHotkey?

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\S-1-5-21-777546997-2006763630-3948032881-1108\Scripts\Logoff\0]
"GPO-ID"="LocalGPO"
"SOM-ID"="Local"
"FileSysPath"="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\GroupPolicy\\User"
"DisplayName"="Local Group Policy"
"GPOName"="Local Group Policy"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\S-1-5-21-777546997-2006763630-3948032881-1108\Scripts\Logoff\0\0]
"Script"="C:\\test.bat"
"Parameters"=""
"ExecTime"=hex(b):00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
