run batch as part of autoit executable

[Briandr]

Hi,

I think this can be done, but how would I convert the batch code below into autoit code and then run it silently?

REM Get the Altiris Agent install path
FOR /F "tokens=2*" %%A IN ('REG.EXE QUERY "HKLMSoftwareAltirisAltiris Agent" /V "installdir"') DO SET AgentDir=%%B
set tempbat=%temp%AgentClean.bat"

REM Create temporary batch file to execute while the agent restarts
echo "%AgentDir%aexagentutil" /stop > %tempbat%
echo rmdir "%AgentDir%TaskManagementcache" /s /q >> %tempbat%
echo rmdir "%AgentDir%TaskManagementstatus" /s /q >> %tempbat%
echo rmdir "%AgentDir%TaskManagementstatusXml" /s /q >> %tempbat%
REM echo rmdir "%AgentDir%TaskManagementlti" /s /q >> %tempbat%      -- remove away the REM, from this line only if you are running on 7.1 and above
echo ping localhost -n 30 >> %tempbat%
echo "%AgentDir%aexagentutil" /start >> %tempbat%
echo exit >> %tempbat%

REM Executes temporary batch file
start "" /MIN %tempbat%

 

Thanks.

Hi, Briandr. Here are some hints:

FOR /F "tokens=2*" %%A IN ('REG.EXE QUERY "HKLM\Software\Altiris\Altiris Agent" /V "installdir"') DO SET AgentDir=%%B
    ;Look at Registry Management in the help file 
 
 set tempbat=%temp%\AgentClean.bat"
    ;This is just a variable, $tempbat = <path>
 
 echo "%AgentDir%\aexagentutil" /stop > %tempbat%
    ;Look at RunWait or ShellExecuteWait in the help file
    
 echo rmdir "%AgentDir%\TaskManagement\cache" /s /q >> %tempbat%
 echo rmdir "%AgentDir%\TaskManagement\status" /s /q >> %tempbat%
 echo rmdir "%AgentDir%\TaskManagement\statusXml" /s /q >> %tempbat%
 REM echo rmdir "%AgentDir%\TaskManagement\lti" /s /q >> %tempbat%      -- remove away the REM, from this line only if you are running on 7.1 and above
    ;Look at DirRemove in the help file (sensing a pattern?)

echo ping localhost -n 30 >> %tempbat%
    ;Look at Ping in the help file
    
 echo "%AgentDir%\aexagentutil" /start >> %tempbat%
    ;Look at RunWait or ShellExecuteWait in the help file
    
 start "" /MIN %tempbat%
    ;Look at RunWait or ShellExecuteWait in the help file
