Hi there,

I ouwld like to write a batch file that will kick start a schedule task on a
remote machine using the following command

schtasks /run /s cam2 /tn start_test

there will be a number of machines that I will have to start off the tests
in the batch file. How can I catch the return from this command "SUCCESS:
Attempted to run the scheduled task "test"", and act on them appropriately?

thanks.

for /f "Tokens=1*" %a in ('schtasks /run /s cam2 /tn start_test') do (
if "%%a" EQU "SUCCESS: " (call :suc "%%b") ELSE (call :not "%%b)
)

From the prompt, type

FOR /?

(for that matter, SET/? or CALL/? yield interesting information - or in
general, command/? )

The newsgroups alt.msdos.batch or more especially alt.msdos.batch.nt (for
NT/2K/XP) are dedicated to the use of batch in strange and wonderful ways.
