looking for activesync start/stopper app

[jpf]

Does anyone know of an application that will start activesync (and the relevant services) and stop it when required? Not something resident but along the lines of a command line util like async /start or async /stop.

I remember a few years back, one of the ppc sites I visited regularly had written a couple of small apps to do this. I can't find any mention of this now though. I did find an activesync restarter @ lockergnome but that's not what I'm after.

The reason is I don't really want activesync running all the time on my PC. I prefer to use apps when I need them rather than have them running in the background all the time.

Thanks

I'm guessing you're after something a little more automated?

I was going to suggest the Task Manager, and from there, you could end the wcescomm.exe and wcesmgr.exe process.

Edit: Here are two files which I've made that could help you out.

Another edit: And it looks like STSanford beat me to it. :lol:

If you're on XP, you could try the following:

[asStop.bat]

taskkill -im wcescomm.exe -f
taskkill -im wcesmgr.exe -f

[asstart.bat]

CD "C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync"
start wcescomm.exe
start wcesmgr.exe

Grab a copy of Activesync Toggle. It's not command line, but it works great!
