Request: AutoShutdown > Quit When Windows Shutdown

[gendouhydeist]

this is important because of /HIDE command and sometimes I always forgot to close utorrent when shutting down my computer this causes to Re-Check torrents files when shutdown improperly or accidentally..

It does try to shutdown normally. Turn on bt.graceful_shutdown.

Windows might still kill the process anyway, if it's taking too long to close.

i just found out the solution:

1) Start - Run - Regedit

Navigate to the following Registry key:

HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Double click on the AutoEndTasks entry and replace the 1 with a 0 in the Value data text box

For the next two, if the dword value indicated does not exist, create it:

Double click on the WaitToKillAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 2000

Double click on the HungAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 1000

Reboot

If still having a problem, make the next change:

2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

Right-click on WaitToKillServiceTimeout and change it to 2000

NOTE: The lowest value Windows will recognize is 1000 (1 second)

ADVISORY: While rare, the "WaitToKillService" tweak can cause problems. If an application is in the process of saving data and the associated service is stopped prematurely, the data will not be saved and may be lost. (Tweak, Note and Advisory from Forum Admin)

Note: Change the "value" desire setting

That's not really the solution... It'll more likely force an ungraceful shutdown than not, which is a bad thing.

[gendouhydeist]

Note: Change the "value" desire setting

WaitToKillAppTimeout = 10000 (10s)

HungAppTimeout = 10000 (10s)

its depends on you on how long windows gonna wait to kill the app

[ajones81]

Is there a Win API call that a program can use to tell Windows to delay shutdown till an event occurs?

[Ultima]

Doubtful, since that would be abused to the point where Windows might simply never shut down.

ive tried it works perfectly

AutoEndTasks 0

WaitToKillAppTimeout 20000

HungAppTimeout 20000

[looka]

is there any option to closes utorrent via batch file, but i would not like to kill it... some parameter perhaps? utorrent -x ?

[Firon]

use taskkill or pskill?

[Ultima]

@gendouhydeist: I was responding to ajones81's question, which was entirely unrelated to what you're pushing.

[looka]

okay, i figures out this bat will do. i thought if i kill torrent than at next startup it will have to recheck all unfinished torrents. thank you!
