I hate having active sync flipping on every single time i charge the axim in a cradle, when i only need to sync once a day for avantgo. however, i also don't like the idea of manually having to click sync when i want to sync, cause i usually wake up in the morning, and just turn on the comp with the pda on.

can i set active sync, or another sync program, so that it only syncs, say, from 7am-7:30am?

You want to try this ?

You normally set ActiveSync not to run. You run ActiveSync only from 7 - 7.30am. Then you will only sync during this period.

You can automate this process.

1. You need to know how to Schedule a Task on your PC.
2. You need to download a utility called PsKill from http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsKill.html.
3. You need to write 1 batch with the statements:

pskill wcescomm.exe
pskill wcesmgr.exe

4. You schedule a task at 7am:

start "startActiveSync" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\WCESMgr.exe"

... depending on where you've installed the program

5. You schedule a task at 7.30am to trigger the batch that you've written.


I've tested manually (not a schedule task) killing and starting ActiveSync with my PDA on the cradle and it's working fine.

Unlikely that you would sync for more than half an hour but you might want to kill ActiveSync at a later hour.
