Reflector Not Exiting With -autoclose

[kleinfelter]

When I run this command line, Reflector runs a backup, but never exits:

Code: Select all

"cobian.reflector.application.exe" -autoclose -list:"C:\Program Files\Cobian Reflector\Lists\MainList.Lst" -bu

The log file does show a line indicating that the final task "has ended". The Reflector GUI closes, but control does not return to the command shell. i.e. The cobian.reflector.application.exe command is still executing, according to the command line.

I'd like to run a backup, which contains several tasks, and then hibernate my machine, but I can't run the hibernate command if the backup never returns control to the command line.

What am I doing wrong?
TIA

Everything is OK as long as I can see. Are you perhaps deleting old backups? (Those are being deleted in the background)

Buenas tardes,
A mi me pasa lo mismo, con el -autoclose se cierra la interfaz gráfica, pero no la aplicación que queda en segundo plano.
En cuanto le vuelves a lanzar la copia te dice que la aplicación está en marcha o el servicio. Tienes que matar el proceso Cobian.Reflector.Application.exe en el administrador de tareas para que vuelva a abrir la aplicación y haga la copia.
Esto lo tengo montado en otro cliente hace más de medio año y funciona correctamente. Debe de ser algo de las últimas versiones.
Lo que hago ahora es hacer un bat y primero le meto un taskkill para matar el proceso y luego lanzo la copia. Es más engorroso que un simple acceso directo con -autoclose pero funciona.
Saludos!

I will check it out.

Hi Luis,

I appear the be experiencing the same problem as kleinfelter, I have two backups scripted to run one after the other. This behaviour started some months ago following an upgrade (Windows or Reflector not sure which) I have assumed that there was a problem with my script eventually stripping out the “- nogui” switch and sitting watching the script run.

I am using a similar documented command line as kleinfelter, the only difference being I have the email notification switched on. I can watch Reflector build the archive, then check it and finally copy it to the target drive, I then receive the email saying the backup is complete and although the GUI closes as kleinfelter states, it doesn’t hand back to the command processor to run the next line of script. Both tasks run properly when run manually from the interface.

I am running the latest version of Reflector Version 2.7.10 and have tried downgrading to 2.6.55 but I still have the problem. OS is Windows 10 64 bit 22H2 patched up to date.

Regards Brian
