Could SOMEONE assist me in figuring out how to grab the DAYS value from the systeminfo command, so that it could be tested to be less than 15. And if greater than 15 execute a shutdown -r to reboot the computers/servers???

I want to add this to my scheduled tasks to run daily vs having to manually tell it to execute on specific dates, since the only options are Daily, Weekly, Monthly, in the Task Scheduler of XP Pro and there was no option for bi-weekly which is what I need.

Reason for this scheduled reboot is that the POS software ( POINT Of Sale ...not the other POS meaning ) .... we are running has some sort of memory leak, which causes problems to show up on around the 18th day. And I would rather not reboot the servers daily as this may overstress them, since they run best when running 24/7, but not 24/18 ha ha, so I want them to run 24/15 and reboot to clear the leak.

Below is an output snippet from the systeminfo command that I think would work best for passing the triggering value to the IF command of a batch to test for a value less than 15, THEN shutdown -r if equal to or greater than 15. This would then cause the system/servers to reboot on the 15th day, when the daily scheduled task would run and test this.

I dont know how to grab this value, not sure if the whole output has to be passed to an array, then searched for DAYS in which it would grab the value before it and test with the IF command???

Thanks ... Dave

Contrex's code looks good, EXCEPT I think there might be problems using quotes in the GTR comparison. You may want to change line:
Code: [Select]if "%days%" GTR "%maxupdays%" (to:
Code: [Select]if %days% GTR %maxupdays% (
Also, you CAN add a reboot (SHUTDOWN.EXE) to your scheduled tasks. Choose "Weekly", then it will give you an option to run every X weeks, and you can choose 2 weeks. Or you can choose "Daily" and choose every 15 days.Quote from: GuruGary on May 25, 2007, 03:26:20 PM

I think it is an ASCII vs numeric comparison issue.
