Retrospect<\/a> (backup software) comes with a number of external scripts. One I use to e-mail reports on backup success and failures. I needed to add another that would shut down a Domino server and then restart it after successful backups. The help files say: “If you need to run multiple scripts you will have to combine them.” So with that little clue, I spent time figuring out how to modify a DOS batch file. The secret ended up creating a series of “IF” statements up front that would identify the calling scripts (alternating weekly backup scripts) that needed to shut down the Domino server. My mods in bold….<\/p>\n
