Help with Windows script
I use Windows scheduler to run BAT files using the "At startup" option. Is it possible to insert some script into the BAT file that will prevent it from running on weekends?
If not, is there some way to accomplish this while still being able to run at startup the rest of the time? All help appreciated. |

If it's weekend, exit the batch file (don't continue to execute its main task). Otherwise, continue as normal. e.g.: (note: Sunday is 1, Monday is 2, etc.) @echo off setlocal echo wscript.echo datepart("w", now)"%temp%\day.vbs" for /f %%A in ('cscript //nologo "%temp%\day.vbs"') do set d=%%A del "%temp%\day.vbs" if "%d%" == "7" goto :eof rem the main task code rem ... Many thanks for your help, I appreciate it! |
