Windows Performance Toolkit. How to run xbootmgr with time limitations

Anonymous

Trying to troubleshoot a reboot that never completes and am running the following command from WPT

xbootmgr -trace shutdown -traceFlags BASE+DIAG+LATENCY -noPrepReboot

The etl file is generated but since the reboot never completes it comes out corrupted at least xperf is unable to open it.

Can I run the above command with timeout settings? Basically something like

xbootmgr -trace shutdown -traceFlags BASE+DIAG+LATENCY -noPrepReboot -timeout 30s

or something similar.

    Did you use this method to see the command?

    in Taskbar Search type in --> CMD

    find Command Prompt at top of list -Right Click on it and type or copy & paste in

    xbootmgr -help

    Hit enter.

    That is the only command reference I know about

    You are more likely to find others using the WPTK in Microsoft's TechNet and MSDN Forums.

    Rob,

    xbootmgr -help. So which of the flags to I need to use to timeout the data collection?

    I have already followed the steps in

    http://www.cluberti.com/blog/2011/07/22/using-xbootmgr-to-trace-boot-shutdown-and-reboot-performance-issues/comment-page-1/

    but the steps don't result in data collection timing out. 

    Please advise on how the xbootmgr can be used with timeout flags.

    thanks
