How do I defrag systemdrive silently at cleanup.cmd?

I am using WPI, called (WPI.cmd) from RunOnceEx part of winnt.sif. At the end of WPI i call cleanup.cmd that deletes shortcuts and tempfiles. WPI.cmd reboots at the very end. So the best would be to have a defragment at the end of cleanup.cmd.

for deleting temp files, this may be of use to you

del "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp" /q
rd "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp" /s /q
del "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" /q
rd "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" /s /q
del "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp" /q
rd "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp" /s /q
mkdir "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp"
del C:\Recycled\?*.* /q
rd C:\Recycled /s/q
del C:\Recycler\?*.* /q
rd C:\Recycler /s/q
del "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" /q
rd "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" /s /q

Thanks, but thats not what im after

Im after a method to defrag systemdrive

But that is great for me! I was actually looking for something I can just run quickly to delete all the temp files but have not gotten around to doing it myself! Thanks!

Hehe.

Can i call in a .cmd the following?

@echo off

start /wait defrag.exe %systemdrive%

EXIT

?

I don't know for sure but I believe that MS Defrag has commandline support.

So with the appropriate switches you could call it at the end of your batchfile.

Only one way to find out then

If you use Diskeeper for defraggin (which you should be if youre not), theres this thread that walks you through it...

It seemed a bit involved when I first took a peak at it so I never bothered in getting around to trying it, but give it a shot if youre determined to do so!

Let us know how it works out!

Im going to try defrag.exe first. Can't see why that should'nt work.

defrag.exe %systemdrive% -f

In dutch:

defrag.exe <volume> [-a] [-f] [-v] [-?]
  volume  Stationsletter of koppelpunt (d: of d:\vol\koppelpunt)
  -a      Alleen analyseren
  -f      Forceert defragmentatie, ook als de beschikbare ruimte klein is
  -v      Uitgebreide weergave
  -?      Deze hulptekst weergeven.

In English (there could be some translation errors) :

defrag.exe <volume> [-a] [-f] [-v] [-?]
-a        only analyse
-f        force defregmantation, also if available space is low
-v       show advanged view
-?        show help

It works

@bledd:

Yes, just what I was looking for!!

Thanks

Viva la Diskeeper! Windows Defrag sucks! heh....

Here is what I use. You should create another thread for this topic I bet alot of people have stuff we haven;t listed here and may not see this conversation since the topic is related to Defrag
