Hi guys, I’m working on an application made in Visual Studio that will allow students (Primarily university) to automatically back up their work automatically and basing the whole system on a small USB that they can plug in and forget about.
EDIT: Developed a workaround for the original problem. But another one has arisen so I guess I’ll post it here rather than making a whole new thread.
I’m looking to have a .bat file run every 10 minutes (Xcopy for backups), with the possibility of having a checkbox that can disable it from running (so the user manually clicks the Sync button to run a backup). This .bat file, as stated, is run by clicking a sync button, and this is the button’s code:
Private Sub Button1_Click_2(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process()
p.StartInfo.FileName = “S:\Administration\SCRIPTS SYSTEM.cmd”
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
p.Start()
End Sub
How do I add and configure a timer command to run (or even push/fire the button) the .bat every 10 minutes?
Thanks 🙂
