I have to pass multiple arguments in my .vbs script but the problem is the script does not get executed from windows task schedular if I pass multiple arguments separated by white spaces. I am running the script like below,
cscript//nologo D:\test\CPWinOraBackup0.100.vbs test_db D:\Oracle\WINDOWSX64_193000_db_home rman_hot D:\Oracle\DB_Backup\test_db 1> D:\test\test.log
where the syntax is as below,
cscript//nologo Script_path ORACLE_HOME Backup_type Backup_directory retention_day
Thank you for your help in advance!

Try using brackets for multiple arguments.
cscript//nologo "D:\test\CPWinOraBackup0.100.vbs test_db D:\Oracle\WINDOWSX64_193000_db_home rman_hot D:\Oracle\DB_Backup\test_db 1> D:\test\test.log"
If that does't work, try using a batch script.
#echo off
cscript//nologo "D:\test\CPWinOraBackup0.100.vbs test_db D:\Oracle\WINDOWSX64_193000_db_home rman_hot D:\Oracle\DB_Backup\test_db 1> D:\test\test.log"

I am trying to write a batch file to run a .exe with a parameter and that gives and output in .csv
I wrote:
start "" "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\AnalysisSoftware\Video.exe" S1.avi>S1.csv
This command is working but the created .csv file is empty. What's wrong?
I also tried with ^ like that:
start "" "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\AnalysisSoftware\Video.exe" S1.avi^>S1.csv
Not working too...
Thank you
Cec
The start command starts the command in another process and so the output is not captured, instead you are capturing the output of the start command, which is nothing.
What you need is
start "" "cmd /c C:\Users\Me\Desktop\AnalysisSoftware\Video.exe S1.avi>S1.csv"
The distinction here is that the redirection operator is within the quotes. In your example above the redirection operator was outside the quotes and so it captured the output of the start command instead of the Video.exe. Note you also need to use cmd /c at the beginning. This is because you need a shell in order to redirect the output of the Video.exe. The /c argument tells cmd to exit as soon as the command finishes executing.
I have two scripts which are to be executed and i am using Windows batch script for automating of running the scripts.
I have to read 10 user input values and then run the two scripts using those parameters.
I am successful in executing the first script and failing with the second script.
Issue is that the cmd prompt exits after completing the first script.
How to make cmd prompt run the second script as well using the input parameters.
Any Help on this??
Thanks in Advance.
You have two options to execute a batch script from you code. It's either START or CALL:
START will execute your code in it's own variable scope, means the variables you've set in the first script won't be available. Further both scripts will be executed in parallel and not one after another (unless you use START /WAIT).
CALL on the other hand will do exactly what you need. It will start the first script in the same scope (previously set variables are variable), execute it and afterwards it will run the second sript (also in the same scope).
TL;DR this will work:
...
CALL BatchScript1.bat
CALL BatchScript2.bat
...
If you call scripts from another script you have to use the call command:
#echo off
call first.cmd
call second.bat
echo Here I'm back again !
I am trying to convert a shell script to a batch file line by line and command by command. However, I cannot seem to get around the following line. Any help appreciated.
OPTS="%OPTS -Dlog4j.configuration=file:.\log4j.properties"
I don't know linux shell but I think the equivalent is this:
Set "OPTS=-Dlog4j.configuration=.\log4j.properties"
Then you can load the stored ...Options¿? like an argument:
Start Application.exe %OPTS%
".\" means the current directory of your script, ensure if "file:.\" means the same in linux OS.
I am using autohotkey to automate some manual process.
I have to run a java command line program(.java) that accepts couple of command line arguments.
I want to run this java program from autohotkey after executing some pre-defined tasks in the automation.
How would I do this?
I think that this is what you are looking for. In this example, I over-ride the company default search engine inside IE.
#i::Run "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.google.com
Basically, put the run pointer between double quotes and the arguments after that. Let me know how you resolve it.
Is it possible to set a cmd.exe shell / batch file to print what would be executed but not actually execute it?
For example, given a batch file that takes some arguments, based on those arguments selects some other batch files to run, those batch files execute some commands, may or may not call other files/commands etc.
I would like to be able to run the top level batch file with all possible combinations of it's input arguments and capture what each arg combination would execute - without actually trying to execute it.
e.g. conceptually would want to be able to produce something like:
mybatchfile.bat 1 2 3 > mybatchfile_1_2_3.bat
mybatchfile.bat 99 3 42 > mybatchfile_99_3_42.bat
where mybatchfile_99_3_42.bat is the list of everything that WOULD be executed when running mybatchfile.bat 99 3 42 (NOT the output of executing those commands)
If this can't be done solely using cmd.exe is there someway to achieve this by running the batch script in cygwin bash shell
In bash we would use something like -x to print out all possible commands without executing them. how to make bash scripts print out every command before executing The problem is that to my knowledge there's no exact equivalent command for Batch Scripts. I would suggest you try placing:
#echo on
at the beginning of your script and:
#echo off
at the end of your script, that's the best starting place.
If you never want the batch file to actually execute the commands, you can insert echo before each command. It's not a perfect solution by any means, but it may be a work-around for fairly simple scripts.
