Run a .bat on another computer

[clemarduck]

Hello there.

To speed the process of relaunching some .exes across a network, I tried to create batch files.
Here's what I did :

psexec \\192.168.0.161 -u ********** -p ********** c:\mxreboot\rebootnode.bat

It's the local .bat using PsExec, and is supposed to launch rebootnode.bat on a remote computer.

Here is my rebootnode.bat :

TASKKILL /F /IM mxnetwork.exe

cd "C:\Program Files\Next Limit\Maxwell 3"
START mxnetwork -node
START mxnetwork -manager

So this one looks for all instances of mxnetwork.exe, kills them and relaunch.

If I run rebootnode.bat directly from the remote computer, it works.
If I try using the local .bat, all the commands seem to execute, but if I check only TASKKILL worked, nothing has been relaunched, and I don't understand why.

Can you help me on that?

I hope I have been clear enough

you could try downloading the latest version of psexec. i've heard that some older versions are buggy

Hi, thanks for the answer.
The version I have is 2.11, I think it is already the latest though.

No other thoughts?

I am glad that it is somewhat working, but it is a pain in the *flowerpot* that I have to launch that file manually from each computer.
