[Question] run script before shutdown

[laura]

Hello all

I would like to run script to log session uptime before windows is shutdowning or restarting. The script is something like this:

@echo. >> %systemdrive%\logs\uptime.log
@echo %date:~2,8% %time:~0,8% >> %systemdrive%\logs\uptime.log
@systeminfo | find "Up Time" >> %systemdrive%\logs\uptime.log

Or maybe anybody knows the program which could do this task...

Start > Run > gpedit.msc

Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts > Shutdown

You could also use a vbscript, there's a lot more code, but it would work much faster!

• uptime.vbs
  

Option Explicit
Dim strComputer, strDirectory, strFile
Dim objFSO, objFolder, objTextFile, objFile, objWMIService, objOS
Dim colOperatingSystems, intSystemUptime, TimedAt, M, S, H, D
strComputer="."

'log file location and name
strDirectory="C:\Logs"
strFile="\uptime.log"

'On Error Resume Next
Set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FolderExists(strDirectory) Then
  Set objFolder=objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory)
Else
  Set objFolder=objFSO.CreateFolder(strDirectory)
End If
If objFSO.FileExists(strDirectory &strFile) Then
  Set objFolder=objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory)
Else
  Set objFile=objFSO.CreateTextFile(strDirectory &strFile)
End If 
Set objFile=nothing : Set objFolder=nothing
Set objTextFile=objFSO.OpenTextFile(strDirectory &strFile, 8, True)
Set objWMIService=GetObject("winmgmts:\\" &strComputer &"\root\cimv2")
Set colOperatingSystems=objWMIService.ExecQuery _
  ("Select * From Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_System")
For Each objOS in colOperatingSystems
  intSystemUptime=Int(objOS.SystemUpTime)
  TimedAt=FormatDateTime(Date(),2) &", " &FormatDateTime(Time(),4)
  UpTime(intSystemUptime)	
Next

Function UpTime(S)
  M=S\60 : S=S mod 60 : H=M\60 : M=M mod 60 : D=H\24
  UpTime=D &" Days, " &H &" Hours, " &M &" Minutes"
  objTextFile.WriteLine(TimedAt &", " &UpTime)
End Function

objTextFile.Close
WScript.Quit

I have set lines 8 and 9 to suit your first post but they should be all you would need to change if anything.

The output will all be on one line [date, time without seconds, Uptime (days, hours, minutes)]

• uptime.log

WMIC script replaced with the VBscript above
