.bat file exiting

[MattDLEA]

I have the following .bat file that I run at start up.

It SHOULD monitor LANRanger , restart it if its crashed/not running and report to a log file. ( I have tested it only by quitting lanranger it works) but i cant simulate a crash as they happen very infrequently but when they do no one can log on.

 

I have noticed that on both my servers the scrip runs fine. Then after a time the window has disappeared.

Any ideas?

 

echo[/mention] OFF

REM 1. Call DOS tasklist and extract the EXE (image) names and then FIND taskmgr.exe in that list.
REM    ** YOU DO NOT NEED TO SPECIFY THE FULL PATH/FILENAME OF THE EXE HERE.
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq LanRanger.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "LanRanger.exe">NUL

REM 2. IF taskmgr.exe is running then just echo that it is running to the console app (you can remove this line if you prefer).
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" echo Lan Ranger is running


REM 3. IF taskmgr.exe is NOT running then start it.
REM    ** YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SPECIFY THE FULL PATH/FILENAME OF THE EXE HERE IN ORDER FOR IT TO START.
if %ERRORLEVEL% GEQ 1 @echo The Program Lan Ranger>> RANGERFAILLOG.txt
if %ERRORLEVEL% GEQ 1 @echo FAILED AT %TIME% , %DATE% >> RANGERFAILLOG.txt
if %ERRORLEVEL% GEQ 1 START "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ranger\LanRanger.exe"

REM 4. We now invoke PING against the local machine loopback IP (127.0.0.1) a few times to provide a simply delay mechanism between EXE checks.
PING 127.0.0.1 -n 15>NUL
REM 5. Repeat the process from the beginning.
CALL ProcessMonitor.bat

What is ProcessMonitor.bat? Are you calling the script from itself? If so why not put a label at the start

:start

and loop back with

goto :start

I am calling the script from itself.

Just altered it to your start loop, will see what happens. does the rest of the code look OK?

I'd remove the echo off line for testing. This way you'll see any error as well as the values of the expanded variables. Edited January 21, 2015 by jinnantonnixx

Does lanranger write anything to the eventlog when it falls over/closes? if so you could just use the Task Scheduler to listen for that event and send an email/start up the program. That's what i use for some services that sometimes stop randomly.
