Thank You Dusty, I tried the script at WORK and i do not know exactly was the wording of the error was, so sorry for the confusion but the taskkill wpont work because CHeckInn need to exit by pressing Exit on its menu screen so i found a program called Eventcoder and i recorded the mouse movement to click Exit and I added the path in the script to run where the Taskkill command LINE use to be and it worked perfectly. So i deleted the sleep command lines and the whole script ran perfectly.

But I will make sure it works as intended and I will post the result tomorrow for you.

But Thank You again for your kind help.Hello Dusty, The script worked great it did made and copied all files to correct folder also even at3.58am last night which it recorded to MON_C shift folder.

Thanks DUsty again. I wanted to add couple things if possible,

1) If the Batchfile can be run as a startup batch file and if it can repeate doing backup every say 3 hours by itself.

2) If there can be option showup which says If you are ready to Backup Press Y and Hit ENTER to continue doing Backup or Press X to wait for 5 minutes.

In option 2 if the backup need to be delayed by 5 minutes can it go to end and restart after 5 minutes in case the CheckInn program is being used. In this case the next back still RUNS on time e.g. 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, 12pm etc.

Can there be a command added to enlarge fonts and may be color the lines seperately.


Thanks you.

1. Copy the .bat file to "C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\USERNAME\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP\". Username is the name of the account which starts on your system, it could be Administrator or some other name. You may also want to delete the commands you have added to kill Checkinn.exe if it has not already been started. You don't need me to schedule when the .bat file will run, see the XP Task Scheduler here..

2. Will respond later.

The use of the COLOR command is shown here.. or enter COLOR/? at the command PROMPT. The only way I know of increasing/decreasing the font size in Cmd.exe is to R.Click the top bar, select Properties>Font and change the font size in the font size slider. You'd have to make this setting apply to all output in the Cmd.exe window.



Thank you Dusty,

I will schedule with Xp Task Scheduler ANS report the results.

Thank you again.Unfortunately I have been unable to locate a timing feature in batch scripting so all timing must be done using the Task Scheduler in order to do what you want.

Make the start of the Checkinn.bat file look like this:
Quote

@echo off
cls
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion


for /f "delims=*" %%1 in (runit.dat) do (
set runit=%%1
)
if "%runit%"=="No" exit

echo.&echo.&echo.&echo.&echo.&echo.&echo.&echo.&echo.
color 1c
set/p run= CAN BACKUP BE RUN NOW? (Y/N)...

cls

if "%run%"=="y" call :start

if "%run%"=="Y" call :start

exit

:start

:: Checkinn.bat

echo No>runit.dat
exit

@echo off
cls
echo Yes>runit.dat
