Defrag %systemdrive% At Cleanup.cmd

[BoardBabe]

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

[SilverHaze420]

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!

[BoardBabe]

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.

[BoardBabe]

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!

[BoardBabe]

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

[erik_demon]

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
