This may answer your question regarding corrupting the hard drive. http://docs.piriform.com/defraggler/techni...-is-safe-to-use Welcome to Piriform by the way. Hi Dennis, Thanks for your fast reply. BTW, you haven't tell us how to abort a command-line initiated df.exe. Please enlighten us. Thanks. Armstrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted July 6, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hi Armstrong. Up until a few minutes ago, I'd never used Defraggler in that way, and there's no info that I can find regarding this on the Piriform Docs site. The only way I could stop it when trying it just a few minutes ago, was to use the Task Manager and "End Process", which according to the info I linked you to, is a safe thing to do. If there's another way, I'm sure one of the members will post it, or one of the developers, who do read these posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you use Task Manager, I use Ctrl+Break. Nonetheless, such abrupt termination is enough to cause cardiac arrest in spite of your assurance. Hope the developers will reveal the secret way to peacefully stop the df.exe Thanks for your help. Armstrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted July 6, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 6, 2009 I agree, it does feel quite an uncomfortable thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh D. Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I've used Task Manager quite a few times to "crash" df.exe and haven't seen any hard drive corruption as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted July 8, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks for the input Josh. Interrupting a defrag is something I would only do if it's absolutely unavoidable, and Defraggler is probably as safe as any in that situation.
