Pausing with batch file

[dr_pants]

Is there any way to pause and resume downloads with a batch file?

The problem with using the webui is that pausing utorrent is just one step of a larger process taking place across several machines which I'm trying to automate as much as possible.

I've already got a relay system set up so this batch file could be on the machine that's running utorrent.

If pausing and resuming can't be done, is there at least a way to shut down the process gracefully so that when it restarts it doesn't have to recheck the torrents?

Thanks.

Don't panic, I'll only be bumping this once.

Using the webui can be done from a batch file with wget, so I don't see why that's insufficient.

Quitting uT gracefully can be done by making sure bt.graceful_shutdown is on and sending the main window a WM_QUIT. Possible from any scripting language, which can be called from a batch file.
