how to run some file every 30 sec

[boy15]

Hi,

I want run script after 15 sec every time

#RequireAdmin
FileInstall("Anyname.bat",@TempDir&"\Anyname.bat",1)
Run(@TempDir&"\Anyname.bat",1)

Can any one help me

thanks

Which is it, 30 seconds, or 15 seconds? O.o

Anyways,

For the delay / timing, look up the sleep and timerdiff functions in the help file.
For the repeating, look up the do and while loop statements in the help file.  

Let us know what questions you have.

I would suggest AdlibRegister function.  Look in help file...

#RequireAdmin
#NoTrayIcon 
While 1
    While fileExists(@ScriptDir&"\anyname.bat")
        run(@ScriptDir&"\anyname.bat")
    WEnd
    Sleep(30000)
WEnd

You seriously have no clue what is going wrong in this script?  Check your process explorer and see how many anyname.bat files are running!

I have one batch file

If I run it manually it opens one time

but when I use script, it open many windows for same batch

[Jos]

So read the script code and try to understand what it does and why it is running your script endless times!
You should be able to figure this out yourself.

not work your script

What about you kick your own brains in gear and think about what I said instead of blaming others?

The script works for the purpose it was made for (not to spoon-feed you).

Which part of the sentence do you not understand ? So stop playing with Emojies and start analyzing. There is e.g. no need to run the batch file to find out the flaws in your construct.

When you write a Autoit script, that will run an external BATCH file every 30 seconds, ist simply WAD, that every 30 seconds a new instance of the BATCH file is started, each one opening a Independent, separate Window.

 

What else do you expect?

 

And, basically, what are you trying to achive? It might be helpful to explain what you Need to do. Possibly the BAT file isn't really necessary and doing everything withing AUTOIT is the better Approach...

@rudi, Have a closer look at the script the OP posted. It will shell endless versions of the bachtfile when it exists for as long as the computer  doesn't hang itself.  

This is an indicator the OP doesn't have the foggiest clue what the script does and I am trying to encourage the OP to think and understand it first.

@Jos A Loop starting a new instance of the BAT script every 30 seconds, or what did I miss?

 

So opening a new CMD box with the BAT running is just WAD, isn't it?

[Jos]

Guess you didn't scroll back far enough. this is what the OP posted before somebody else started to pollute the thread with other code: 

  There's clearly a big OOPS in there.

I hope you don't mean my contribution. I just wanted to make the OP aware of the problem with the endless running While-Loops. A ready-made solution would have undermined your advice : " So read the script code and try to understand what it does and why it is running your script endless times! " .

Yes I did and was just playing a little...
Understood what you were trying but, as you saw, it only confused the OP and diverted the attention from his own script to your script. 

.. but feel free to contribute anytime you feel you can help!

[rudi]

Oh yesss!

I didn't notice the "inner" Loop without any sleep() in that post.
