 Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 12:52 am Post subject: Timer, total number of hours PC is on? Help |
 |
|
I would like to make a timer that shows total hours that my PC has been on. eg 1 hour a day x 100 days = total hours 100
Basically a timer that keeps track of total hours PC is on.
Any suggestions
Thankyou Red |

A_TickCount is the variable which holds the length of time since a computer has been rebooted. So just separate that into the hh:mm:ss and you'll have your time the computer has been on.
Ciao,

what system are you using? XP, Vista, 2000? those have that function built in.
ex: start --> run --> cmd --> systeminfo

Nice command. Haven't seen that one before. 11 line down shows the following on XP.
System Up Time: 0 Days, 0 Hours, 47 Minutes, 22 Seconds |

just use the settimer method, its not hard at all
like:
| Code: |
settimer, aa, 60000 ;updates every 1 minute
aa:
IniRead, OutputVar, C:\Temp\myfile.ini, section1, key
OutputVar++
IniWrite, %OutputVar%, C:\Temp\myfile.ini, section1, key
return
F1::
IniRead, OutputVar, C:\Temp\myfile.ini, section1, key
msgbox, %OutputVar% mins
return |
of course, u need to put this program in the startup folder |

I don't think you're going to find what you'll consider to be a "simple" solution, because I don't think that Windows tracks the total time that a computer has been on.
Since you want it to track the total time, your script must write the data someplace "permanent".... that won't vanish when you power cycle your computer. With Windows this usually means the registry, or an .ini file. The .ini file will be easier for you to code.
Check out the commands: IniRead and IniWrite, as well as A_Tickcount.
Rather than just having the computer update the ini file every hour, I'd make a shutdown script that added A_Tickcount to a running total in the .ini file every time you powered your computer off. |

You get an error, because that is the default value for IniRead to return for a blank value. On your first IniRead, use the default option:
| Code: |
SetTimer, aa, 60000 ; updates every 1 minute
aa:
IniRead, OutputVar, C:\Temp\myfile.ini, section1, key, 0 ; If no value is found, assume it is 0.
OutputVar++
IniWrite, %OutputVar%, C:\Temp\myfile.ini, section1, key
return
F1::
IniRead, OutputVar, C:\Temp\myfile.ini, section1, key
MsgBox, %OutputVar% mins
Return |
