I don't think that except BIOS and LAN wakeup there is a way around to boot your computer automatically at specific time.

players_player · 07-22-08, 07:54 PM

there is a way to start the comp at a specific time without u being around... but thats only for the comp... i dont know how to startup modems and **** like that.

get this software called Power Shutdown. it helps to put the computer in hibernate mode and wake it up from hibernation automatically but only thing is ur power to the computer has to be on... including power to ur modem.

no need for any other software.windows task scheduler itself has an option of waking up computer from hibernation/standby mode to do a particular task.

I second that.. why does anyone need this script when your computers OS already has one??

I appreciate the thread starts intentions but in my opinion yu are trying to do something which has already been done and your efforts would go to waste unless your script does something in addition to what windows can already do.

Thanks Admin for your comments

Sometimes there are things which are very difficult for a common person to perform so this Software lets them automatically dial the internet connection, start the downloading software and schedule the shutdown at the time configured by user. All this is done automatically when computer starts in time set by user but computer has to be automatically started from BIOS now. But if I could build the code to make the computer start also at configure time without hassle of BIOS then it will be more convinient for users.

but i think that softwarez are more reliable than windows scripts sometimes.

Hey People out there a new addon to DFBA, "Rdownloader v1.0" is to be released on August 1,2008. It will (along with DFBA v1.0) let you download data from web links during free-bandwidth night time.

What is it that you would like to know? The situation is like this:

BSNL offers free downloading during 2 AM to 8 AM.
Most heavy downloaders would like to use this time for their heavy downloads such as movies, software, etc. from torrents.
But to use the free usage time, we must restart/re-establish connection after 2 AM and before 8 AM
Obviously staying awake till 2 AM or waking up at that time everyday is not an option
There are many methods that can automate this rebooting of the modem so that you are spared of this task

The automation mentioned in this post (and many other posts like this) talk about modem restarting only - not the actual downloading. Packages such as uTorrent have an inbuilt scheduler. Using the automation and uTorrent, all large downloads can be pushed to the 2 AM to 8 AM window.

Err.. Have you cofigured your BIOS to start your computer at 2:00 AM, if yes then you could check if configuration file "configure.txt" being configured correctly or not. As I have come to know you are using XP or earlier (from your screenshot, I may be wrong). The specified fiole will be in "C:\Program Files\RickSoft\DFBA v1.0\" (if windows is on C) or if you use Vista file will be in "C:\Users\'Your User Name'\Documents\RickSoft\DFBA v1.0" (if windows is on C) [Note : Its a hidden folder in Vista)

neil_x.rated · 08-01-08, 06:24 PM

Maybe you can try this: Automatically Wake Up from Windows Stand By and Hibernation Raymond.CC Blog

p/s. I have not tried it myself.

just4kix · 08-01-08, 07:28 PM

This article will also help: Automatically wake a hibernating Windows XP machine

RickSoft · 08-01-08, 08:05 PM

"neil_x.rated" you could have known if you have read FAQ section on my website that every computer has nearly different BIOS so I will not be able to assist exactly, however, you can view option of "Auto Power" under Power Management option of your BIOS but you can't use advise of "justkix" because my software starts at startup and in case you hibernate and wake your computer startup programs will not run (in my knowledge).
