WHS1 run .bat on resume.

Guys,

I need to run a batch file when my WHSv1 resumes from standby. I have Lightsout, but it dosn't want to run the .bat file when the system resumes from standby.

Any ideas?

Yeah saw that on my google search and saw W7. This would be so much easier with WHS2

Bledd, Triggers are not supported with Server 2003 from what I can find. Thats why WHS2 would be easier.

You could do it in autohotkey. Save the current time in a text file, 1 minute later, check the file. If its been more than a minute, assume the machines been in hibernate and call the batch file. If not more than a minute, update the time in the file, and go back to the start. A bit hackish I grant you, but should work.

Says that you should create a bat file to execute the sleep mode/hibernate

Then after the sleep command, add in the command that you want to run, it should run when it wakes up again.
