Auto-shutdown after daily rescan

[huouer]

I need to rescan my network drivers daily after office time. It takes me about 4 hours /day. Is there any way to auto shutdown my computer after Everything 1.5 finishes the rescan? Is it possible to add the function in Everything 1.5?

Please consider the following BAT file:

Code: Select all

Everything.exe -exit
Everything.exe -reindex -exit
shutdown -t 0 -s -f

This BAT file will:
Make sure Everything is not running.
Trigger Everything to reindex
Once the reindex completes and is saved to disk, Everything will exit.
Shutdown your PC.



For Everything 1.5, this can be simplified to:

Code: Select all

Everything64.exe -reindex -exit -wait
shutdown -t 0 -s -f

-reindex
-exit
-wait

Thank you for your timely response, Void.
I have scheduled to rescan some of my network drivers in Everything 1.5. I don't need to rescan all network drives every day. Your bat file will reindex all drives, right?

Correct.

Everything doesn't have an option to exit after updating a folder index.
I have put on my TODO list to add a command line option to update a folder index, wait for the update to complete and exit Everything.
