This is the command i use in the scheduled task run:
C:\Backup\SyncToy\SyncToy.exe –r"Current_FASR"
It still brings up the program for me to start. What is the correct way to
run without user input?
Thanks
 
I just started using SyncToy and discovered that the flag -r is case
sensitive. It has to be UPPERCASE -R.
 
Thanks for your response, tryed the uppercase -R, still brings up the program
for me to click run. Have you had it working, could you post the command line
you use in the scheduler?
Thanks
 
I did not use the scheduler, but instead created a batch file to run from the
startup folder. Also I did not specify to sync any particular folder pair
since I only have one folder pair set up.

I also tested the scheduler and it did work for me. This is the command I
used:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\SyncToy\SyncToy.exe" -R"My Documents"

Do you have the latest version of synctoy. 1.2?
 
Dave,

Try adding a couple of quotes, as follows. It worked for me.

"C:\Backup\SyncToy\SyncToy.exe" –r"Current_FASR"
^ ------------------------------------^ Note added quotes

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks for the responses, but you're not going to beleave this,
take a look at the "dash" in front of the "r"

Working: C:\Backup\SyncToy\SyncToy.exe -r"Current_FASR"
Not working: C:\Backup\SyncToy\SyncToy.exe –r"Current_FASR"

When i tried a batch file and the command was echoed, the dash was a "u"
with a "^" over it.
??
Thanks Dave
