Hello,

i need to automate the backing up of skype and all it's messages on pc's.

my current script works fine as long as the application is shutdown.

i could just taskkill the prog but i still need to open it up again after the copy.

i have tried:
psexec \\machine "c:\program files\skype\phone\skype.exe" /shutdown

and also tried:
psexec \\machine -i "c:\program files\skype\phone\skype.exe" /shutdown

and:
CALL psexec \\machine "c:\program files\skype\phone\skype.exe" /shutdown

as well as:
psexec \\machine c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe "c:\program files\skype\phone\skype.exe" /shutdown

i could kill the task but would prefer to shut it down nicely.

also, the closest i could get to starting skype again, was the exe actually running on the machine, but not interacting with the desktop at all.

can anybody tell me what to put in my batch file?

Kind Regards,
Wesley

Can you change a paypal account in skype? I canceled a account linked to skype, re linked a new email which is linked to a paypal account i currently have a band account with in another country., and all i see is this: Your Skype account is not linked to a PayPal account. A Skype account will become linked to a PayPal account if it has successfully received money from a Skype contact. How does a skype contact put money into paypal is what i am scratching my head over here?
