i want a bat to run defrag as part of the whole bat its self. The thing is I have it as
echo off
disk defrag
exit
Is it cause it dont see the path or is it something else.
-
What is your defrag program called? Where is it located? What OS are you using?
-
the disk defrag in windows xp
-
Here ya go
C:\>defrag -?
Usage:
defrag <volume> [-a] [-f] [-v] [-?]
volume drive letter or mount point (d: or d:\vol\mountpoint)
-a Analyze only
-f Force defragmentation even if free space is low
-v Verbose output
-? Display this help text
-
saing not reconized as an internal external command. I put it as C:\>defrag -? to see if it would work before I added switches. It had made a file called defrag on A: however
-
1. post the exact batch file you used.
2. What happens if you type PATH at the command prompt?
3. Try C:\Windows\Defrag.exe
-
here's what is in the bat file simple
echo off
C:\Windows\Defrag.exe
exit
I cant figure out why its not going tried a combo of things. I called it scanner.bat I'm not running it from cmd. I tried even putting in a start thinking that would work
-
works for me.
What OS? I'd say XP based on your specs but we're all aware how often you neglect to specify the machine your running on...
-
squall, why didn't you answer my other 2 questions?
-
works for me.

I expect he's running Sun Windows Ubuntu on a Kenwood DVD player.
-
oh the other one sorry I havent tried that yet. But I'm not useing one of my machines but the path should still be the same right>
-
it's quite simple, it's far easier to answer one question and trail off about other things that have been tried that likely will only make it worse.

or on a Dell Compaq Emachine.

No don't worry about, you know, answering the questions or anything. God knows we're just trying to make conversation.
-
i dont know i did it this way tooo
echo off
C:\Windows\Defrag.exe
path=C:\Windows\Defrag.exe
exit
-
OK, Squall, please try both of these before posting back.
1. Type PATH at the prompt, and copy and paste what you get. Something is wrong with your %path% variable. You are going to find plenty of other commands that do not work.
2. Type C:\Windows\system32\defrag.exe and press ENTER.
If you don't do both these things, I am out of here.

::)

Is this the silence that ends a thread that means "I've realised what a *censored* I've been"?
-
no i had to do other things. sorry. but I wont say anything about what you said I'll keep that to myself.
-
well then, see- we just wanted a conversation. Just reminding ourselves what we would do in particular situations that just happened to coincide with yours is all.
-
So did you make the defrag work? ::)
-
do i need to check my paths on my trs-80 to run defrag? they should be the same right?
-
I havent done it yet doing it know.
-
the second works right off

Halouk says they should.

But your PATH variable is screwed. So none of the Windows utils that you see below will work from the prompt like they should.

Duh! Like "Read this first!" "Give all information!" Now he tells us! Probably the admin has disabled users from starting defrags.
-
yes, didn't expect it too..... was thinking of home but doing it here so its like one of those duh moments.
-
Surpriseingly I got it work and it looks just like what you have posted. I kind of want it to be gui use. The help isnt all that helpful and I tried running it to no avial. Also, I want to know add avast and spybot but not sure what I have to point tooo..... I looked for an exe but its not anything that I can see right off that would lanuch the programs.
