thank you for batch.
But something not working.
When I start batch it makes log1.txt and write 1 into it
when i start second time it makes log.txt and write 2 into it
and thats it, no matter how many times I start script after that it opens file1.exe and nothing happend with log1.txt and log.txt

[Lemonilla]

Walk your way through the code and follow the logic.  There is a minor fix that needs to be done that you can do yourself by examining the parts that work.

[Squashman]

Hint. How many log files are you suppose to have and what should they be named.

[Jaka]

OK I think I found a problem
It was the end of script I changed log.txt to log1.txt
but now it counts over 5, to 6 or 7 or 8, etc. And doesn't open file2.exe, still opens file1.exe.

Code: [Select]

)
) else (
set /a num+=1
echo !num! >log1.txt
%file1%
)
)

sorry this still not working 

[Jaka]

Can someone please help me to repair this script, please? 

[foxidrive]

Just repeating myself here: for someone to give you a script that works reliably then you have to tell them exactly what the task is.
That means the programs being used, and what the aim of the task is, and the directories being used and the operating system etc.

That comes on Page 7...

I did it on page 3.
Is this not enough? What I should do more? Can you help me explain how to do it than, please?

The batch file will check if stop.txt exist
If stop.txt exist, nothing happends
if stop.txt not exist it will proceed
The batch file will run file1.exe and write 1 to log1.txt
Your scheduled task will fire.
The batch file will run file1.exe and write 2 to log1.txt
Your scheduled task will fire.
The batch file will run file1.exe and write 3 to log1.txt
Your scheduled task will fire.

Let me be clearer: nobody wants to help you because you purposely aren't describing the task.

I can't tell you which program because it is some old program for backup, it works on WIN XP. I can only give it to you.
Directories used is D:\backup\script there will be this batch too
backup folder where backup files are
E:\backup_daily\monday.atk

that batch file will be started by task scheduler every day and it will start file1.exe which check backup if exsist and if backup is missing it will restart program for backup, that is done with file1.exe
when program is restared 5 times than it should restart PC, that is flie2.exe and when PC is restarted than goes to backup program and when that cycle with restarting comes to 3 times for restart pc and 15 times for restart backup program it will stop all..

file1.exe is script which check if file monday.atk exist, if not than check running process of backup software, stop it and start it again.
file2.exe is just restart script

I see that, now I hope I manage to describe correctly.

[patio]

How can you not know what program it is ? ?
