Does anyone have a template of a batch file, or something, that would allow for a time delayed execution/start up of nwnx.exe?


My scenario is pretty much that when my Server restarts, the mysql and php services have to start before NWNX, however, in all the cases of restarts so far, php,mysql and nwnx attempt to start at the same time, and of course, this means that the odbc plugin attempts to connect to mysql, before its been started.


Anyone know how to make nwnx2.exe start up, say after 1 minute delay, just to give the mysql server time to get started.

Got it sorted myself.

For anyone interested, the method ya go about this is to create a vbs file that reads.
I saved this as wait.vbs - in my c:\
Code:

wscript.sleep 10000



Then a batch file that reads

Code:

start /wait c:\wait.vbs
start start C:\Servers\NWN\NWNX2.exe

I save this batch file as nwnxwait.bat in my nwn folder. Then drag a shortcut of it into my startup folder.
Note - Change the values of the path to what your own path reads.

This results in a 10 second delay, before nwnx2.exe is started.

The main batch file that runs this, needs to be in the nwn folder, in order for the nwnx.ini to be read and used.

This 10 second delay, allows my server to now do automatic updates, restart, and bring mySQL back up, and then bring nwnx2 + NWNserver back up, without the risk of nwnx2 starting before mySQL has finished loading.

Problem Solved.

Windows also has the 'sleep' command built in, so you could use 'sleep 10' instead of the VBScript file.

Lol
Might have gone with that idea.

But sure, 6 of 1, half dozen of the other.

They both work, no sense in changing it. Lol
