So after thinking about this for a bit it seems like this might be the best way: if the batch started is the original, copy the file to %temp% and execute it there. at the end of the batch, copy the file from the original to %temp% again if orig is newer and execute the %temp% copy again. This will ...

I'm sure some of you have one of these running, but I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to implement the 'updating' method. I have a batch that I execute that loops back it its beginning again when complete so it can run again. Now the problem is that if this batch is running and I update i...

Since for years (decades?) this forum has only had one forum--DOS Batch--why not simply add forums for Powershell and Bash and see what happens? If there isn't enough activity you can always hide/delete them.

Thank you for sharing. I remember a long time ago there was a bath for something similar if not the exact same thing, but who knows how to find it.

For older versions of windows that do not have timeout as a command, but do have a tcp/ip stack installed, I use the following for a timer:where SECONDS is the number of seconds you want to pause.

That's a bit misleading. You can snoop on traffic, but you can't inherently do anything with it. It's like Wireshark. But in the article, the author was able to get ftp passwords sent in the clear. Not all traffic on a lan is encrypted so I can easily see this being used by a malware toolkit to scr...

Very useful and very dangerous at the same time as a compromised system on a network can now automatically hack the network with the right batch file. :shock: That's a bit misleading.

Ummm...the find command itself can do that--find /?

I changed line 5 Call: nextcopy ... (comes from when you write from the phone.) Of course it makes no sense to send the data over the network several times. Maybe a batch can be started from the server / network in order not to resend the data from the client. To start with a trigger for automatic ...

That is an interesting idea, although the code is going to take me some time to understand.

The only issue I see is with bandwidth. If by having two simultaneous copies running the bandwidth for each copy gets halved, the net speed will still end up being the same.

Most of us that have worked with computers have run into this problem in some form or another--you have one source and it needs to be copied to multiple destinations. And the normal solution is to run these copy operations serially, ie one at a time, so the execution time is N*NumberOfDestinations. ...

So a couple of questions to clarify some things.

If a file is without an extension, you want it to start with "zz"?

If the file has a .txt, extension, it should be the same name as the mp3, except with a txt extension, correct?

Samir, look at the post right above yours

Yeah, I'm sure that will solve the OP's issue--I just couldn't wrap my head around exactly what was going on there.
