Execute batch file prior to scheduled task.

I have a VIce Versa task to copy files from PC01 to PC05.

Works fine, except of coruse when PC05 is sleeping.

I have a simple batch file (WAKE05.BAT) on PCO1 to manually and remotely wake up PC05.

How can I incorporate this batch file into a local script to run just prior to the task??

(I suppose, as a workaound, I can use Windows 7 task scheduler to run the batch file, but thought I wpuld try it with Vice Versa first)

Hi, in ViceVersa PRO 2.5 you can run scripts (including batch files) before starting execution, the settings is in profile settings -> advanced settings. thanks

Yes I know, I can creatw a sceript, point to it, and run it before Vice Vers a compares/executes....but I am not familiar with scripts - never used them. I know ther are simple text files (.vbs) but I am not used to the syntaxt

I ssupect it's just a few lines I need to run MYBATCH.BAT

What are they? Is it something like this ? ''

===
'This script launches a batch file
BATCHNAME="MYBATCH.BAT"
Wscript.Shell = BATCHNAME
===

..and save the file as batch.vbs???

Hi, a batch file is considered a script, you can point to MYBATCH.BAT directly in the profile settings, no need to create a VBS file. thanks
