batch file

[em99010pepe]

Hey gurus,

If I reboot the server the internet connection only establishes past 2-3 mins so I have a batch file with the following content to start up the llrnet servers:

ping -n 300 127.0.0.1 > NUL
Start /min C:\dc\llrnet-windows\Riesel\llrserver.exe
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > NUL
Start /min C:\dc\llrnet-windows\Sierpinski\llrserver.exe
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > NUL
Start /min C:\dc\llrnet-windows\NPLB\llrserver.exe
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > NUL
C:\dc\llrnet-windows\NPLB-port_80\llrserver.exe

The first server (Riesel one) will go online after 300 seconds of the startup of the machine, the second one 310 seconds, the third 320 and so on. My problem here is that the batch opens a DOS windows and never closes because it stays open with details of the console of the last server. By closing that DOS window all servers will go down. How do I avoid this?

For now I only have shortcuts of the exe in the startup folder but I prefer to see them on 5 mins past the startup of the machine...

A while back on these forums I posted a copy of a nice little program that runs in the system tray, and lets you easily hide and unhide windows on demand. It might be just what you're looking for--you can start the servers, then hide them with the program until you want to look at them again, at which point you can easily unhide them.

Try this Carlos

@echo off
ping -n 300 127.0.0.1 > NUL
Start /DC:\dc\llrnet-windows\Riesel /I "cmd /cSTART /min llrserver.exe"
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > NUL
Start /DC:\dc\llrnet-windows\Sierpinski /I "cmd /cSTART /min llrserver.exe
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > NUL
Start /DC:\dc\llrnet-windows\NPLB /I "cmd /cSTART /min llrserver.exe
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > NUL
Start /DC:\dc\llrnet-windows\NPLB-port_80 /I "cmd /cSTART /min llrserver.exe

echo done! &echo.
echo Sleeping for 5 seconds
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >NUL

I'll try this when I reboot the server, I'll let you know when. Thank you DJ.

The last command does not have the "Start /min" as a prefix so the CMD box will wait for it to finish.

Thanks!

Don't laugh, it works. This will show you all the primes in results.txt.
I can change it so that it takes a filename.ext from the command line if you would rather have that.

sample output:
user=Free-DC_Beyond
[02/25/08 19:48:38]
861*2^316774-1 is prime!

Done!

@echo off
cls

for /f "tokens=1-5* delims=^= " %%a in ('type results.txt') do CALL :PARSE "%%a" "%%b" "%%c" "%%d"
goto :END

:PARSE
if "%~1"=="user" set USER=%~2
if not "%~4"=="prime!" set DATETIME=%~1 %~2
if "%~4"=="prime!" echo user=%USER% & echo %DATETIME% & echo %~1 %~2 %~3 %~4 & set USER=& set DATETIME=&echo.

goto :EOF

:END

echo Done!

:EOF

This works! Thanks IronBits.
