Making diskeeper run from bacth file

[jamesas]

hey guys what i have atm is a WPI and a batch file that runs after WPI is finished now is there anyway to make it detect if diskeeper is installed and defragment the system drive, which also means how do i make it do this from a batch file or is that not possible

[Astalavista]

this has already been discussed many times. Pls use the search function.

ok guys i looked at the above post very good thread but i just found a very very easy way to run it from a batc file although it runs with windows still loaded, all you need to do is make a batch file with 'diskeeper %systemdrive%:'

EG.

@echo off
TITLE Defragmenting Your %systemdrive% Drive
diskeeper %systemdrive%:

PS all it needs now is a way to check for diskeeper

[glent]

yep works fine thanks

[jamesas]

i designed it from the latest edition and ive also found a way to make it check for diskeeper

I Have not yet tested this on a UA disk so im nto sure if that server not started error will pop up in UA disks

Install.cmd

@echo off
start /wait %cdrom%\Applications\Diskeeper\setup.msi /qb

cleanup.cmd

@echo off
IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\Executive Software\Diskeeper\Diskeeper.exe" (
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\diskeeper.cmd

) ELSE (
shutdown.exe -r -f -t 5 -c "Windows 2003 will now restart, this will give enough time for the shortcuts to update and for the shell to fully load before its ready to restart!"
)

diskeeper.cmd

@echo off
TITLE Defragmenting Your %systemdrive% Drive
"C:\Program Files\Executive Software\Diskeeper\Diskeeper.exe" %systemdrive%:
shutdown.exe -r -f -t 5 -c "Windows 2003 will now restart, this will give enough time for the shortcuts to update and for the shell to fully load before its ready to restart!"

PSS. this is beeing run at the end of my UA disk so ive inlcuded all the extras i had

but it doesend work with v9 only with v8

error code is: cant contact to diskeeper service

is the service started? i dont use diskeeper, so i cant say ive tested it

OMG.. that's it

i alway's did think the service is already running, but i'ts not

jeez.. so simpel

[jamesas]

but doesnt the other way do it during boot which would mean the service wouldnt be started and i dont think can be
