server and then wake it up prior to the alarm/EOD. SCPowerTool.exe is
still there in the background, in a sleeping state waiting for it's
system timer to fire and wake the system. I suppose I should really
modify the scpowertool source code so that it can decide if that timer
is still needed if it senses a wake-up and exit cleanly. But in the
mean time, here is a simple work around:
As far as I know, there is no "kill" command native to windows. But
if you get the free SysInternals utilities from Microsoft, there is
pskill.exe which can do in a spurious instance of scpowertool.exe.
Basically, in the SrvrPowerCtrl settings, you'd set the On-wakeup
Actions->Optional on-wakeup command to something like:
Code:
--------------------
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe start /B starthidden.exe pskill.exe
scpowertool.exe
--------------------
..or something. I haven't tested this. Care to be the guinea pig?
