Pause Duplicati if Process exists

Requirements

• Powershell 5+
• Duplicati Client binary built and is in PATH
• Both files need to be in a same dir

Note

• pause duplicati onProcess.launcher.pid.txt is created and contains the script's PID so that if there's a need to stop the script, the user can do so via Task Manager

Install

1. Create a shortcut to pause duplicati onProcess.launcher.vbs in shell:startup
2. If you are using native Powershell 5, rename pwsh to powershell in pause duplicati onProcess.launcher.vbs
3. Modify process array in pause duplicati onProcess.ps1

pause duplicati onProcess.launcher.vbs

strPath = Wscript.ScriptFullName
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(strPath)
strFolder = objFSO.GetParentFolderName(objFile)

Do While True
objShell.Run("pwsh -WindowStyle Hidden -File """ & strFolder & "\pause duplicati onProcess.ps1"""), 0, True
Loop
