i need a batch script to run on the 15th of every mounth at logon [in windows 98]. what syntax do i use to have it run on a certin date? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Well there is no way that I know of to get the time from a batch file. However, if you envtime.exe from my site You can put these lines in a batch file to accomplish what you want to do: @ECHO OFF ENVTIME.EXE > %TEMP%\TIME.BAT %TEMP%\TIME.BAT IF "DOM"=="15" GOTO RUN GOTO EXIT :RUN WHATEVER_PROGRAM.EXE ANOTHER_PROGRAM.EXE :EXIT -------------------- You should put envtime.exe in your c:\Windows folder so that you won't need to type the full path to the program each time you run it. To make it run at windows startup, copy the batch file to your: c:\windows\start menu\program\startup folder. Email me if you have any questions.

Hi May be this batch-file will help: @echo off cls if "%1"=="" goto help set run_date=%1 set date_file=run_date.tmp rem write todays date to temp file date/t > run_date.tmp find "%run_date%" %date_file% > nul if errorlevel 0 if not errorlevel 1 goto run_prog if errorlevel 1 if not errorlevel 2 goto exit goto exit :help echo Syntax: RUN_DATE DATE echo DATE should be: DD.MM goto exit :run_prog echo -Running my program- ver goto exit :exit if exist %date_file% del %date_file% Send me an e-mail if any questions.

Hi The date/t is for Windows NT. If you are using som other os, tyr: date < enter.bat > %date_file% and make the file enter.bat with just a carriage return in.

Hi, I need to run a script that will automatically log a user into a file server, backup, Example:My Documents and all of it's file contents, and then automatically log them out. I am running NT Server 4.0 and Netware 5.1 for workstations i have Windows 95/98. Is there a solution. Your help would greatly appreciated. Thanks Bill Dunn.
