    Batch File Examples

    Password Example
    The following batch file can be used to establish a password for running a program. The batch file is
    named START.BAT and calls the program named CALC.EXE.

    @ECHO OFF
    IF %1==ExeScript GOTO OK
    ECHO WRONG PASSWORD
    GOTO END
    :OK
    ECHO PASSWORD IS ACCEPTED...STARTING
    CALC.EXE
    :END

    Below you'll see the response of the computer to various commands.

    First the bad password. At the prompt type START 123.


    C:/>
    C:/>START 123
    C:/>BAD PASSWORD

    Now use the correct password. Type the correct command at the prompt.
    C:/>
    C:/>START ExeScript
    C:/>PASSWORD IS ACCEPTED...STARTING

    At this point the CALC.EXE program starts.

    Backup your .doc files (Windows NT/2000/XP version)


    usage: backbat backupdir
    where: backupdir is the directory to copy your .doc files

    @echo off
    if not "%1"=="" goto argsok
    echo usage: %0 backupdir
    echo where: backupdir is the directory to copy your .doc files
    goto end

    :argsok
    setlocal
    set backupdir=%1
    if not exist %backupdir% goto notfile
    echo %backupdir% is a file
    goto end
    :notfile
    rem If the directory does not exist, create it.
    if exist %backupdir%\nul goto skipdir
    md %backupdir%
    if "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto skipdir
    echo Error creating backup directory
    goto end
    :skipdir
    rem Copy each .doc file one at a time.
    rem Note: the for loop variable (%%b) must be contain only one letter.
    for %%b in ( *.doc ) do copy %%b %backupdir% > nul
    rem Use the for loop again to check if each file was copied (since it is
    rem difficult to run multiple commands in a for loop).
    for %%b in ( *.doc ) do if not exist %backupdir%\%%b echo %%b was not copied
    :end
    rem Clean up
    endlocal

    How to make a time log


    In the following example, you can create a time log of when the batch file is loaded or, for example, in
    the autoexec.bat file when someone logs into a computer.

    ECHO. |TIME > TIME


    COPY LOG +TIME

    An alternate slightly more complicated method that, to our knowledge, cannot be used in Windows NT,
    Windows 2000 or Windows ME would be the following:

    echo @prompt set date=$d$_set time=$t$h$h$h > {a}.bat


    %comspec% /e:2048 /c {a}.bat > {b}.bat
    for %%v in ({b}.bat del) do call %%v {?}.bat
    echo %date% %time% >> log

    Another alternative is:

    echo. |time |find "current" >> log

    For the above batch file to work properly, you must create a file called log by typing "edit log" (without
    the quotes) and then save and exit the file which will create the file at 0 bytes. If this file is not created
    or not created properly, you will receive the error message, "Content of destination lost before copy".
    Here are some Useful command line batch
    files we have written to help us out.
    The command prompt is alive and well in Citrix Winframe and Metaframe, it is often faster and
    more efficient to do things from it than from winstation administration. Below are some great
    helps to make it even more efficient for you.

    ===========================================================================

    Killall.bat

    The text between the double lines is what you type at the command prompt to create the files.
    Here is the most useful one we have it is called Killall.bat all you need to do is type killall
    followed by the workstation id numbers you want to reset ex: killall 21 22 23 24. This
    works great if you need to log multiple users off to fix a problem.

    ===================

    Copy con killall.bat


    @echo off
    cls
    :killanother
    if <%1>==<> goto alldead
    reset winsta /v %1
    shift
    goto killanother
    :alldead
    ================

    press control-z to save the file

    Disable.bat and Enable.bat

    We created these two batch files to quickly disable and reenable logons. We created an Icon
    from the batch files. and added it to our admin group. You can omit the Rem lines.

    ===================

    Copy con disable.bat


    Rem This command disables logons
    change winsta /disable
    ====================

    press ctrl-z to save the file


    ====================

    Copy con enable.bat


    Rem This command enables logons
    change winsta /enable
    ================

    press ctrl-z to save the file

    ==================

    S.bat

    S.bat was created to get a status of another server from any of our servers. Our servers are
    named Citrix1 - Citrix5 You will need to substitute your server names for the word Citrix. You
    would type s and then the server number ex. s 1. Hopefully your server names are sequentially
    numbered or this wont work.

    =========================

    Copy con s.bat


    @echo off
    cls
    quser /server:CITRIX%1
    if CITRIX(%1).==CITRIX(). goto end
    :end
    ===========================

    press ctrl-z to save this file

    =========================================================

    Deltree.bat

    Deltree.bat is a batch file I found on the web to solve a major problem with NT. We needed a
    way to delete all files within a subdirectory without deleting the directory itself, and also avoid
    having to answer y a million times. The deltree command is gone in NT so this is the way around
    it. We use this to clear our Temp Directory as well as delete and recopy program subdirectorys
    when files get corrupted. The command is such you would type deltree then the drive and
    directory you want to delete for example deltree c:/temp
    ==================================================

    Copy Con Deltree.bat


    @echo off
    pushd %1
    del /q *.*
    for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B') do rd /s /q /a "%%i"
    popd
    =================================================
    press ctrl-z to save this file

    Another simpler way to delete all files

    Another simpler way to delete all files from a subdirectory but it takes up two lines in your batch
    file is to use the below two lines:

    echo y | del c:\temp\*.* /S


    rd c:\temp\ /s /q
    md c:\temp
    Cacls C:\TEMP /E /P EveryOne:F

    The first line clears out the files in the root and all subdirectories(/s)without prompting, the
    second line deletes the subdirectory folders. Make sure you have the \ at the end of the directory
    name on the second line or it will delete the directory also. Sometimes this command deletes the
    temp directory. Thus the md statement to recreate it. It is ignored if the directory exists. The
    cacls command gives everyone full permission to write to the temp directory in case someone
    accidently took permission of it.

    Pro.bat

    Pro.bat was written to view the running processes on the system you are on. We have found that
    a process stuck in the run state for a long period of time is usually a runaway and killing that
    process will bring a server back to life.

    ============================

    copy con Pro.bat


    qprocess * |more
    ============================

    press ctrl-z to save this file

    P.bat

    P.bat took pro.bat one step further it gave us the ability to look at processes on our other servers.
    Just by typing in P and the number of the server. Ex. P 1. Note like s.bat that you have to
    substitute the word Citrix with the name/number of your server and hopefully they are
    sequentially numbered.

    ==============================

    @echo off
    cls
    qprocess * /server:CITRIX%1
    if CITRIX(%1).==CITRIX(). goto end
    :end
