Stop Acrosync

Kirolbet
in Acrosync for Windows
Hello,
I am using Acrosync to copy by ssh some files (GB) between offices.
I have created two profiles, that are only different in the speed they use to syncronize the folders:
- Day: to use the sincronization during the day, when the people is in the office
- Night: to use when the people is out of the office (i can use a bigger bandwidth)

The problem is that at 8, when people comes to the office, the synchronization at night may have not be finished, so I would like to use the Day profile to limit that bandwidth used.

I have been searching in the forum and in the help of the tool (acrosyncClient64.exe -h) and I have seen nothing about it. Is there any command or any way to do this change of profiles automatically (or changing the 'Max upload speed')?

Thanks,
Alberto

    We have a documented feature that can stop all profiles at a specified time.

    If you create a registry string HKCU\Software\Acrosync\AcrosyncClient\RestartTime with a value of 8:00, then at 8:00am all running profiles will be stopped.  And then they will be restarted when their respective scheduled times are reached.

    Do you think this will work for you?

    OK, I have put the RestartTime in the AcrosyncClient key, with the value "8:00"
    Is it possible to have various values in this registry value? For example, "8:00,20:50", just in case the day profile is still syncronizing something in the moment that the night profile has to be started.

    Thank you very much, gchen!

    Currently it only supports one restart time, but if it works for you I can make the change to support multiple.

    Last night I left it with the key you told me and this morning I found it still running. So that key didn't work for me. This is the string value I had to create, because there was no "Restart time" in it.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acrosync\AcrosyncClient]
    "RestartTime"="8:00"

    This doesn't work if you run Acrosync as a service.  Also, your Acrosync application may read registry from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER, depending on the privileges.

    Thank you very much for your help. I have been able to do everything I wanted.

    You can restart the Acrosync service by creating a task in Task Scheduler (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36309449/how-to-restart-a-windows-service-using-task-scheduler)
