Psexec batch file

Glad to read this. Thanks for your feedback.

Good morning, kahanlon.

I am sorry if this has been beat to death, but I did search for this.

Never mind. As no forum search offers a way to search for a multiline text, you had little chance of finding all the sample batches inside the PSTools forum.

set srvr=%1 psexec \\%1% cmd e: del *.mp3 However, after the batch file runs psexec, it will not execute the other commands until after i exit psexec (inside the cmd window), which is not what i want to do. Is what i need to do possible?

It very likely is feasible.

Provided you wish to run only one single command inside cmd.exe you may do it like follows:

set srvr=%1 :: As you set SRV=%1 I thought we will use it :: but this is unrelated to your issue. psexec \\%SRV% cmd.exe /c some single command here e: del *.mp3

Provided you wish to run several commands inside cmd.exe you may do it like follows:
Put the commands to be executed in a second batch, named "second.bat" e.g. Then proceed like this:

set srvr=%1 psexec \\%SRV% -c second.bat e: del *.mp3

Note:
The psexec option -c has got a different effect than the cmd.exe option /c.
There have been reports where calling a batch remotely this way would not work. In such cases, in step 1 the batch had to be copied to \\%SRV% manually beforehand and then called this way in step 2:

copy second.bat \\%SRV%\Admin$ psexec \\%SRV% cmd.exe /c second.bat

For more information on the options of psexec.exe and cmd.exe you may run psexec -? and cmd.exe /?.

Hope this helps more than it confuses ,
