I am a complete beginner in respect to batch files, and have to get something done at work.

I need to run a bunch of shutdown commands in a batch file, stopping between each command to make sure the machine that was just told to shut down is completely down before i send the next command.
Now, I figured I could run the shutdown command, ping, and if it times out move on. but I have no idea how to process the output of the ping command where it will tell me whether or not it timed out.

I also need to periodically login to certain machines in the scrip using local accounts to run a shutdown command (they are not in the domain) and I haven't the foggiest idea how to do that.

I'll have to see if that will work. I'm still trying to figure out how to implement it.

Freaky Chris · Sep 23rd, 2008, 12:42 PM

probably very nasty syntax, since i never use batch files but here you go

(Toggle Plain Text)

@echo off
:first
ping 192.000.1.1 > %TEMP%\pinglog
find "Request timed out" < %TEMP%\pinglog > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo Shutdown 192.000.1.1 && goto :next1
goto :first

:next1
ping 192.000.1.2 > %TEMP%\pinglog
find "Request timed out" < %TEMP%\pinglog > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo Shutdown 192.000.1.2 && goto :next2
goto :next1

:next2
ping 192.000.1.3 > %TEMP%\pinglog
find "Request timed out" < %TEMP%\pinglog > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo Shutdown 192.000.1.3 && goto :next3
goto :next2

that code doesn;t seem to work at all when I feel in my information.
each individual statement works, but when run as a whole, it just executes the ping over and over again and never does the shutdown.

Freaky Chris · Sep 23rd, 2008, 2:50 PM

Thats because there is no shutdown command issued since i didn't know what you wanted to run exactly. so ok i suppose yu want something like this

(Toggle Plain Text)

@echo off
shutdown -s -f -t 00 -m 192.000.1.1
:first
ping 192.000.1.1 > %TEMP%\pinglog
find "Request timed out" < %TEMP%\pinglog > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo Shutdown 192.000.1.1 && goto :next1
goto :first

:next1
shutdown -s -f -t 00 -m 192.000.1.2
:next11
ping 192.000.1.2 > %TEMP%\pinglog
find "Request timed out" < %TEMP%\pinglog > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo Shutdown 192.000.1.2 && goto :next2
goto :next11

:next2
shutdown -s -f -t 00 -m 192.000.1.3
:next22
ping 192.000.1.3 > %TEMP%\pinglog
find "Request timed out" < %TEMP%\pinglog > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo Shutdown 192.000.1.3 && goto :next3
goto :next22

ignore the im not sure on ip the code will work fine if you plug in your info.

With some minor tweaking this worked perfectly!
I'm so freaking happy right now it's not even funny

thank you so much!
