ccleaner api


Recommended Posts

hi,

i would like to know if ccleaner has some api that i could call from some script or some other program.

i just have found something usefull here:

https://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/advanced-usage/command-line-parameters

 

but there are so few command line options...

 

-------------

for example for this command:

CCleaner.exe /AUTO ----> CCleaner runs silently and automatically, using the current set of saved options to clean the PC. CCleaner then exits.

 

how do i know when the ccleaner ends its service with this command?

how do i also run the registry cleaner?

Only for private use could you do such as otherwise would break licensing.

But yes the cmd lines and the only thing you have access to in that manner.

 

EDIT

In regards to registry cleaning, nobody who knows what they are doing should ever want to auto this section. More times than not you will have horrible consequences on a PC where utter care (as described in my signature) was not taken in using any registry changing software like ccleaner, which is a relatively gentle member of a dangerous genre of system utilities.

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Hi,

thank you very much for the answer. but i also would like to know if i have have return value from executing the command: CCleaner.exe /AUTO  to know when that command ends its job.

furthermore are the any plans to give some more versatile ccleaner APIs for developers?

and yes, i want to implement that for my private use.
