Re: Auslogic Disk Defrag
Jim, it didn't pass "C:\program" because there was a white space just afterwards. You needed to enclose the path in double quotes. I mentioned this many times before.
If you check the box for "for don't run if files in 2,3 or 4 exist." the application will not be updated if it is already installed, even if a new version is found. I added a new command to kill the DiskDefrag.exe process before running cdefrag and it worked.
Command 2: %ComSpec% /c taskkill.exe /f /im DiskDefrag.exe
Command 3: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Auslogics\DiskDefrag\cdefrag.exe -c -f
Uninstall command: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Auslogics\DiskDefrag\unins000.exe /SILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES
This is working fine for me.

Here is my exact code from Command 2:
%ComSpec% /K "%ProgramFiles%\Auslogics\DiskDefrag\cdefrag.exe" -c -f
The resulting console window says:
C:\Program is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
It does have double quotes around it.

Re: Auslogic Disk Defrag
Oh, sorry, that command fails in 64 bit OS because "%ProgramFiles%\Auslogics\DiskDefrag\cdefrag.exe" does not exist. Use "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Auslogics\DiskDefrag\cdefrag.exe" instead.
Sorry about that.

Re: Auslogic Disk Defrag
Would this be the case for something like Spybot Search and Destroy, My current setup is
Download And Install: Working
%ToolsDir%\spybot-2.4.exe /sp- /silent /suppressmsgboxes /norestart
Automatic Update, Scan & Remove: No Working
%ProgramFiles%\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDWelcome.exe /autocheck /autofix /onlyspyware
Download And Install: Working
%ToolsDir%\spybot-2.4.exe /sp- /silent /suppressmsgboxes /norestart
Automatic Update, Scan & Remove: No Working
%ProgramFiles%\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDWelcome.exe /autocheck /autofix /onlyspyware
Re: Auslogic Disk Defrag
wrc559 I don't use Spybot, but you just need to check out where SDWelcome.exe is. If it is under C:\Program files, then use %ProgramFiles%, if it is under C:\Program files (x86), then use %ProgramFiles(x86)%.
Anyway, the best thing is to locate the file using the Browse button for the command, and it will automatically create the correct variable for you.

Re: Auslogic Disk Defrag
Another thing: To ensure your commands will work in both architectures you should add the tools in a 64 bit environment.

Sorry - Found the answer, You need to own the premium version to activate the CMD prompts for the program.
Thanks anyway!
Re: Auslogic Disk Defrag
Since it's not a portable app and this isn't something I'd leave on customer's systems, I've copied "cdefrag.exe" from the installed folder and put it in my Dropbox as a source. Then I use:
%installsourcedir%\Third Party\Auslogics\cdefrag.exe -c -o -dt as the Command 1 ... and that's it. This was probably one of the first third party apps I added to the SR list.

Re: Auslogic Disk Defrag

I had a brain fart there.... I was for some reason thinking "%Programfiles%" would determine the correct location. I guess it's because you try to simplify things and I didn't really even think about it. There is not really a good way for %Programfiles% to determine the path you intended especially on a 64 system with a 32 bit app.

Re: Auslogic Disk Defrag
Since we are on this topic, with the exception of XP and maybe Vista, Windows default defrags every Wednesday about 2am or the next time it is booted. Is a defrag program really that important anymore? It's been a long time since I seen a drive that really needed defraging. That even taking into account percentages on a large drive. To me it seems the builtin defrag does a pretty good job of keeping things tidy.
What's ya'lls opinion? DO you use these other tools "because you like them better" or do you have evidence they really do improve performance over the standard weekly defrag?

Re: Auslogic Disk Defrag
I agree with you, even though it is useful to have a fast defragmenter like this one handy for the rare cases where we find a fragmented HDD. The Windows defragmenter does a good job, but it's horribly slow.

Re: Auslogic Disk Defrag
I've seen many a system with "last defrag" being a long time ago. Seems to drop the ball with the scheduler too often. I like Auslogic's optimizing so, when I hand it back, it's about as lean and mean as I can possibly get it for them but I'd not be doing myself any favours if I left it on their system.
