It appears some process has an open handle to the P drive.<br/><br/>Any reason why you are using <em>start</em> with the <strong>net use</strong> command? There is no reason to run it in a separate window and running it inline produces the same result as the /wait switch would.<br/><br/> hi Sidewinder<br/><br/>Thank you for replay, here is full batchfile.bat:<br/><br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>echo off<br/>CD /d p:\<br/><br/>REM grab todays date into variables<br/>set MM=%Date:~3,2%<br/>set DD=%Date:~0,2%<br/>set YYYY=%Date:~6,4%<br/><br/>REM Add the date variables to the log name<br/>REM putting the date in this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/order-238912" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ORDER">ORDER</a> will sort the files sensibly<br/>Set LogFile="e:\NewFiles_%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%.Log"<br/><br/>REM create the vb script<br/>>c:\evaluate.vbs echo Wscript.echo eval(WScript.Arguments(0))<br/><br/>REM extract todays date less 7 days<br/>set OldestDate=<br/>for /f "delims=" %%A in ( ' cscript //nologo c:\evaluate.vbs "Date -7" ' ) do set OldestDate=%%A<br/><br/>REM tidy<br/>del c:\evaluate.vbs<br/><br/>REM break up the date into constituent parts<br/>REM Note - the date is parsing YYYY-MM-DD format dates,<br/><br/>set MM=<br/>set DD=<br/>set YYYY=<br/><br/>set MM=%OldestDate:~5,2%<br/>set DD=%OldestDate:~8,2%<br/>set YYYY=%OldestDate:~0,4%<br/><br/>REM reconstruct <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/us-243201" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about US">US</a> format with '-' separators<br/>set OldestDate=%MM%-%DD%-%YYYY%<br/><br/>REM add the new entry to the log<br/>>> %LogFile% Echo %DATE% %TIME%<br/>>> %LogFile% Echo Since : %OldestDate%<br/>net use p:|find "Remote name">> %LogFile% <br/><br/>REM list the files that would be copied if we really were doing a copy<br/>REM force it to believe that the target NonExistentDirectory is a directory<br/>REM and echo the name & time for each<br/><br/>for /f "delims=" %%A in ( ' xcopy /l /i /d:%OldestDate% *.* NonExistentDirectory ' ) do call :ProcessEach "%%A"<br/><br/>REM tidy up the log<br/>>> %LogFile% Echo ========================================<br/><br/>goto :EOF<br/><br/>:ProcessEach<br/><br/>>> %LogFile% echo %~f1 %~t1<br/><br/>goto :EOF<br/><br/><br/><br/>Thank you for help <br/><br/>BR<br/>MichalThe second line in batchfile.bat <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/logs-1077946" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOGS">LOGS</a> you on to the P drive.

It may be time to rethink your design. Batchfile should contain all the instructions it needs to run whether from the command line or as a called file. By this I mean batchfile should map the drive, access the drive and release the drive; it should not rely on some caller batch file to supply these instructions.<br/><br/>Be aware that in a caller/calling sequence, that if any module fails to complete properly, your session status may be corrupt.<br/><br/>Why are you using <em>start /wait</em> with the net use command? Why are you <em>piping</em> Y to the net use command? <br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>Special that it works on once computer only.

Are they on the same network?<br/><br/>Hi All<br/><br/>Sorry I messed up, all works fine.<br/><br/>note. Always connect to disks mapped to your computer <br/><br/>BR<br/>Silberzin</body></html> | |
