Continue after reboot

Recommended Posts

I have seen a few requests for the ability to continue a script after a reboot. I do this all the time, especially during holiday shutdown each year when I have a laundry list of tasks to perform on all systems. I have had as many as 40+ tasks, many of which reboot themselves, or won't continue if they see another installation that has not reboot yet (gotta love Microsoft).

Here is the shell script that I used to get it done.

Version 1

Here's my new version. Some people had trouble remembering not to skip numbers, or to keep them in order, so this one puts it all in an array, so you don't have to manually keep track of task IDs.

MSUpdates Module

This module was written for the Version 1 script, and has not been tested for Version 2.

First, you will need to download WuInstall from http://www.wuinstall.com/index.php/en/free.

(This is an excellent utility, so I highly recommend purchasing a Pro copy)

Unzip and place the WUInstall.exe file in a folder beneath your script called 3rdParty.

Func _InstallWindowsUpdates()
    Local $DBQ = '"'
    Local $res
    Local $tfile = _TempFile(@TempDir, "~", ".exe")
    FileInstall("3rdParty\WUInstall.exe", $tfile, 1)
    $res = RunWait($tfile & " /install /criteria " & $DBQ & "IsAssigned=1 and IsHidden=0 and IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software'" & $DBQ, @TempDir)
    FileDelete($tfile)
    If $res < 2 Or $res > 4 Then Shutdown(6)
EndFunc   ;==>_InstallWindowsUpdates

--Edit--

Added Version 2 of script

modified log path in Version 2 (see posts 5&6)

Added MSUpdates module

I did a rewrite of this shell to accommodate some people that were editing my scripts, but couldn't remember to keep tasks IDs consecutive. This new one is going into use for 2011 end-of-year cleanup. See post #1 for both versions.

I personally wouldn't hard-code the C: drive destination but instead opt for saving to a different location such as @AppDataCommonDir.

I agree with you. This script comes from an internal end-of-year cleanup script, and the log file location was decided on "by committee", and gets deleted in a few days anyway. I'll change it in the top post though, when I get a few minutes this morning.

Ok. I have had alot of people contacting me, both from the forum and from without, wanting the MS Updates script. I went ahead added it to post #1.

I am glad to see that so many people are able to make use of this shell script.

That kind of defeats the purpose of the script.  The idea behind this script is to be able to continue where you left off after a reboot.

If you want to start from stage one every time you can just call a regular script?

Or am I misunderstanding your question?

We have UAC turned off for all of our machines, and have a special domain account set up for doing our cleanups.  It has sufficient rights for all of the tasks needed, and has the cleanup script followed by a mandatory reboot in its login script.  That way, we just log in, and walk on to the next PC.  Then cycle back after covering the floor to make sure the script completed.

Nice.  Did not know about ther userinit registry key.  I always over complicated things with scheduled tasks creation|deletes.
