I have a door game that I have to run a nightly maintenance program on called maint.exe. I setup a nightly event in the event editor and set
the time and days to run the event. My question is: do i run the Event Type as Shell, BBS or something else? Also should I run a .bat file or just run maint.exe with the path c:\mystic\doors\apoc\maint.exe?
You can let it execute maint.exe, i.e. there's no need for a .BAT file if that's all the .BAT file would do.
suppose to but I don't think the maint.exe file is being run. None of
the files it's suppose to update are being updated. If I run the
Is there some logfile from maint.exe?
If not, you might be able to store the output to a logfile on your own
by specifying something like the following as the shell command:
c:\mystic\doors\apoc\maint.exe > c:\mystic\logs\maint.log 2>&1
c:\mystic\doors\apoc\maint.exe > c:\mystic\logs\maint.log 2>&1
Tried the above but no log file is produced. I can run the maint.exe manually but thats kind of a pain. Just weird that it's not running the file. It's just a basic shell command. Dosen't make much sense.
(If you create a batch file, does this affect anything?)
I ran a batch file with the info you gave and got this:
"NTVDM has encountered a System Error - The Handle is invalid"
