Have a look at the Move command

It would be something like this:

move "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\logs\file.log" "D:\Templogs\file.log"

hi as i have specified that my application is running under Tomcat as a server in online so here i should not stop the tomcat to move the file but my process has to continue i have used the simple code as follows

move /y "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\logs\*.*" "D:\test" so here i have the problem that my tomcat will always running but i should move the files without stopping the tomcat how to achive this using batch programs

So if I understand this correctly, you want to back up the logs in D:\test but you can't move them because the program is in use.

Try the copy command:

Code: [Select]

copy "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\logs\*.*" "D:\test"
