Running wake.cmd prior to scheduled EPG update

[ed6612]

Hi,

I was wondering if I have my PVR box hibernated and configured to automatically wake up for an EPG update as well as set up with gbpvrwake.exe and wake.cmd does wake.cmd run synchrnously or asynchronously in relation to the EPG update?

The reason that this is important to me is that the PVR gets internet access via a Linksys wireless USB adapter which does not always recover successfully from hibernate (possibly because it is set up to use WPA-AES) and requires a Linksys driver service to be restarted via "net stop/start" to regain internet access required for EPG update. So my plan is to have wake.cmd first restart the Linksys service after coming out of hibernate and regain internet access (takes around 30 sec, create artificial delay with a sleep command inside wake.cmd) and hopefully have the EPG update run subsequently. Does this seem like it might work?

Thank you,

Sorry, there is no guarantee on the order these are called. They called from different processes and not synchronised in any way. That said, its likely that wake.cmd will be called several minutes before the EPG update.

Thank you for the quick reply Sub, you are right about wake.cmd running before the EPG update, my logs confirm this the the guide is getting updated as it should

The EPG update happens in a random time after the computer has been woken up, if I understand things correctly, which means that if you're unlucky it will happen before wake.cmd.
