General
Execute either the session is open or closed
Execute with the highest priviledges
Triggers
Execute daily at specific time
Contitions

Thank you!
I tried almost every option. I just want that the .bat runs on unattended mode

I have a powershell script that is running all the time on windows 7. If user does computer shutdown or reboot, I need a little time to do cleanup tasks such as updating log file.
Is there a way to delay shutdown from within script?
Solutions I've found from searching don't work well:
*Listening for events such as SessionEnding are too late and powershell is closed before script has time to do anything
*I'm looking for a solution within the script that runs at startup instead of separate solution such as adding a 2nd script to group policy that runs on shutdown
I've looked at WM_QUERYENDSESSION but I can't get it to work for powershell script.
Add the script on GPE on your local computer, So the script will run while shutdown.
I need help in creating a VB Script which needs to open at a specific day and time. I need to avoid using Task Scheduler because, I will be sharing this VBS file to other users and the task has to be scheduled the first time the user runs this script.
I have a windows batch file that is invoked by windows scheduler. When I try to have multiple windows scheduler tasks trying to run the batch file simultaneously, the batch file is locked by the first process and the all the other instances fail.
Is there is way in Windows to run multiple instances of batch file simultaneously?
My script is a simple one all it does is:
set java_classpath
java javaClass
There is nothing inherent to batch file mechanics that limits the number of processes that can simultaneously run the same script. The actual batch script is not locked when it is run. In fact, it is possible to modify a batch script while it is running, though that is usually a very bad idea.
But a batch script could take any number of actions that would prevent simultaneous runs. The most obvious is if the script attempts to redirect output to a specific file (constant path and name). The output redirection establishes an exclusive lock that will prevent any other process from obtaining the same lock.
Another possibility is your script could be calling an external command or program that establishes an exclusive lock in some way.
Either way, there should be nothing to prevent multiple processes from launching the same script simultaneously. But if the script establishes an exclusive lock, then one (or more) of the instances may either crash or exit prematurely, or seem to hang, depending on how the failed lock aquisition is handled.
There really isn't any way to be more specific unless you post your actual script. But if it is a long script, then you should attempt to isolate where the problem is occurring before posting.
Windows 8 task scheduler has the following option (on the last, "Settings" tab):
If the task is already running, then the following rule applies:
Do not start a new instance (default)
Run a new instance in parallel
...
Probably you should change this setting. And also, I would suggest you look into http://serverfault.com and post there.
Did you try calling your batchfile by using %systemroot%\cmd.exe /K C:\path\batchfile.bat? With /K each time a new instance of cmd is opened, guess it is the shell not the file making you weird.
to people coming here from google simply looking for a way to run multiple instances of a .bat file simultaneously, a simple way would be this script:
set N=3
for /L %%i in (1,1,%N%) do (
start yourscript.bat
)
i wanna to create a cron job on windows that daily delete files from a specific folder.
how can i do this??
Thanks in advance
Use Schedule tasks in windows. Check here. You can use del command to remove one or more files. Put it inside a batch script and schedule it as a task.
You want Scheduled Tasks.
With Scheduled Tasks, you can schedule
any script, program, or document to
run at a time that is most convenient
for you. Scheduled Tasks starts every
time that you start Windows XP and
runs in the background, and it starts
each task that you schedule at the
time that you specify when you create
the task.
Edit your question if you specifically need help with the deleting files bit, but typing in help del at a command prompt should tell you everything you need to know.
I use Cron for Windows, it's very easy to use if you are familiar with cron from *nix
I've created 2 tasks in Task Scheduler on my Vista PC start uTorrent at 2am then close uTorrent (and shutdown PC) at 7am. However i'd like to only like this task to run if I've clicked a shortcut - ideally show something in the tray as well if possible. But not sure how?
Thanks in advance!
I managed to to something like this myself in windows 7, should be the same in Vista.
To do what you want you could create a scheduled task that starts utorrent, another to close it later and another to then shut down the pc, all timed to run every day at 2am. You would then create a task that runs a batch file to delete the other tasks every time you boot up.
You will have exported the first three tasks as XML files just after you created them and saved them somewhere.
The key is that you then create a batch file that, upon double clicking will create the scheduled tasks by importing the XML files. This will cause the tasks to run as before and shut down your pc afterwards. Next time you boot up your machine the tasks are deleted again by the first batch file.
Read up on batch files (simple command propt commands in a file that run when clicked) and the command-line interface for scheduled tasks.
Type schtasks /? at the command promt for more info.
Hope that makes sense.
