Run scheduled task after starting computer from hibernation mode

[Guest PatrickMail@gmx.de]

Hi everybody,

 

I have a question concerning scheduled tasks and hibernation (Win xp).

I know that one can schedule tasks to run after system start-up or

user logon. However, I wonder whether there is a possibility to let a

task automatically run when the system was manually started from

hibernation mode. This means, I do not want to wake it up

automatically at a given time. Instead, I am looking for a solution

similar to the available option 'run task after system start-up' (that

only works if the computer has been completely turned off).

 

Can anybody of you help.

I'm not aware of a function that will detect a return from hibernation.

However, you could solve the problem in a generalised way: Use

the Task Scheduler to update a "heartbeat monitor" file once every

five minutes, and check the date stamp of this file just before you update

it. If more than five minutes have elapsed since the last update then

your system was off the air for one reason or another.

Hibernat Trigger (freeware) does this.

Shutter.exe will do this I think.

Hi, thanks for all your replies. Hibernate trigger seems to be the

easiest solution I think.
