CMD Vista

Hi I was just wondering, is it possible to make a .bat file where after say 15 seconds of it being open, it exits (closes)? Thanks.

There is some info here http://www.computerhope.com/batch.htm#4

Creating a batch file delay

Below is an example of how to delay a batch file any where from 5 to 99 seconds. In the below example we illustrate a 5 second delay.

TYPE NUL | CHOICE.COM /N /CY /TY,5 >NUL

Is that it?

Urm. I don't think so, I tried it but nothing happened. What I am looking for is, after say I open my .bat file and after 15 seconds or w.e of it being open and nothing happens to it, it closes. That I believe logs off your computer or puts it to sleep.

Oh, I'm not sure. You'll probably need to look into a lot of .Bat functions to find and put together what you want.

Okay so this is what I have so far. I have a .bat file. With this.

cls
@ECHO OFF
title SYSTEMRECOVERY.DPX
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Start System Recovery (Yes/No)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Yes goto LOCK
if %cho%==Yes goto LOCK
if %cho%==No goto END
if %cho%==No goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Private "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK

if NOT %pass%== MYPASSWORD goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password

:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End

(Its a Fake out hidden folder to store my crap aha)
What that does is it creates a hidden folder. So I click on the .bat file it opens up the CMD and I type in my password to access my hidden folder. Once I am done I click on it again, and I type Yes and it closes. But what I want is if I don't, or if somebody else. Doesn't type in the password within 5 seconds it closes. So I found out the CMD to do that. its.....

TIMEOUT 5
EXIT

I tried that out in.....

IPCONFIG
TIMEOUT 5
EXIT

and it worked. But I am trying to install that text somewhere in my hidden folder script, but its not working. I had it here....

echo *** SYSTEMRECOVERY.DPX – Address FBFE7617 base at FBFE5000, DataStamp 3d6dd67c
TIMEOUT 5
EXIT
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== MYPASSWORD goto FAIL

and it works but and all....



but as you can see, after it says waiting for 2 seconds. It says "press any key to continue" well its kind of hard to type in my password when that shows up and I click anything and it closes. So now I need to get rid of the "press any key" but keep the rest. Lol. Thanks![/list]

Bah I'm running w7rc and I copied the same batch file and whenever I run it all it does is make a "Private" folder on my desktop. But my guess would be to add TIMEOUT 5 EXIT either directly after the if NOT %pass%== MYPASSWORD goto FAIL line or one line before :End.

Nope not working. I did try putting it just before my first ECHO under :UNLOCK but I am still having the problem after the timer stops or even during it. If I click anything it just exits.

Rofl mines secure lol. *portable hardrive baby*

Thanks. Lol never said it was porn though xD it might just be other types of files I need secure Plus I have an external hard drive but still somebody grabs that they can still get to that! Doesn't matter though, I will just keep the .bat command the way it is. It works good
