Run a bat file with argument via server method
Hello Everyone,
I would like to run a bat file with argument on server via server method. I saw the same topic on forum in several year ago but they also have no solution.
Is it possible to run a bat file (or an application) on server via server method? Pls help.
Hi DucTran
You can use below server method to run the bat file
string inputPath = string.Format(@"C:\Backup\Test"); //Directory of the Bat file
System.Diagnostics.Process command = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
command.StartInfo.FileName = Path.Combine(inputPath, "Hello.bat"); // Bat file Name
string outputPath = Path.Combine(inputPath, "output.txt"); //Output file
command.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("\"{0}\" \"{1}\" \"{2}\"", inputPath, outputPath, inputPath);
command.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
command.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
command.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = inputPath;
command.Start();
if (!command.WaitForExit(3000)) //Execution allowed time to prevent system hung
{
throw new Exception(string.Format("The process '{0}' is not responding", command.StartInfo.FileName));
}if (command.ExitCode != 0)
{
throw new Exception(string.Format("The process '{0}' has finished with error (ErrorCode={1})", command.StartInfo.FileName, command.ExitCode));
}
return this;Note: If you get access denied error, provide access to that folder to everyone an try
Thank You
