Sleep Command

[Anon Anon]

I would like to enter on the command line (the job sleep for 20 seconds) and (then execute the *.bat file). I do not want to create 2 jobs.

Hi,

It is not possbile to code in the command line itself, instead we can code sleep step in the .bat file itself. and supply .bat file path to the command attribute.

I thought so. Might add a sleep feature in the next WCC release. Thank you so much.

Few things are impossible. Some things just take more effort.

I am assuming we are talking about windows jobs, as Unix/Linux you can just use the sleep command.

You need to get creative with windows.

Or you could even roll your own sleep command if your feeling ambitious.

That would be my choice. Something like...

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <windows.h>

int main ( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    if( argc == 1 ){
        float secs = strtof(argc[0]);
        Sleep(int(secs * 1000)); // Number of secconds times 1000 == MiliSeconds
        return 0;
    }
}

(NOT tested, and does not have to many features)

Anyway there are many options to chose from. Some suck, some suck less. so whatever you chose simply add this to your jobs command attribute.

command: [SLEEP_COMMAND_YOU_CHOSE] && [COMMAND_YOU_WANT_TO_RUN]

o also you will need to configure your remote agents with...

oscomponent.cmdprefix.force=true

This will cause the remote agent to stuff a "cmd /c" befor your command so the positive conditional will work (&&)

hope that helps.
