Intermittent Errors on a Defrag app


Recommended Posts

  • Moderators

[font="Arial"][size="2"]I've been playing around with an automated disk Analyze/Defrag tool. On a couple of machines it works just great, but on others it'll error out with "[b]The requested action with this object has failed[/b]." on line 10. I've been trying to figure out what could be different, as all the machines are XP SP3 from a common image, but am coming up with zip thus far. I'm enabling more in the way of error checking, but if anyone has some thoughts or suggestions, I would appreciate it greatly.

$Log = "C:\Temp\Defrag.log"

Const $DriveTypeRemovable = 1, $DriveTypeFixed = 2, $DriveTypeNetwork = 3, $DriveTypeCDROM = 4, $DriveTypeRAMDisk = 5

$FSO = ObjCreate("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

$Drives = $FSO.Drives

For $Drive in $Drives

If $Drive.DriveType = 2 Then

$WshShell = ObjCreate("WScript.Shell") < - - - this is the line it is erroring out on...

$RunString1 = "%comspec% /c echo "

$RunString2 = "%comspec% /c %WINDIR%\System32\Defrag.exe " & "C:" & " -a -v"

$WshShell.Run($RunString1 & " >> " & $Log & " 2>&1", 0, TRUE)

$WshShell.Run($RunString2 & " >> " & $Log & " 2>&1", 0, TRUE)

EndIf

Next

Call( "analyze" )

Func analyze()

$line = FileReadLine($Log, 15)

$value = StringTrimLeft($line,39)

If $value > "0 %" Then

$msg = MsgBox(1, "System Watcher", "Your Hard Drive is currently " & $value & " fragmented. This can cause poor performance." & @CRLF & "Click OK to defragment your Hard Drive now, or click Cancel to delay this action 30 minutes.")

Else

FileDelete( $Log )

EndIf

If $msg = 1 Then

Call( "defrag" )

Else

Sleep( 180000 )

Call( "defrag" )

EndIf

EndFunc

Func defrag()

$WshShell = ObjCreate("WScript.Shell")

$RunString1 = "%comspec% /c echo "

$RunString2 = "%comspec% /c %WINDIR%\System32\Defrag.exe " & "C:" & " -f"

$WshShell.Run($RunString1 & " >> " & $Log & " 2>&1", 0, TRUE)

$WshShell.Run($RunString2 & " >> " & $Log & " 2>&1", 0, TRUE)

FileDelete( $Log )

EndFunc

FileDelete( $Log )
