batch file

TS6.7.1 SP1, windows server 2003

When server reboot takes place, TS services stop and I have to manually restart these services. I want to run a batch file which automatically restarts TS services.

How to run the batch file upon reboot ?

thanks

You have a different issue. TS should be set to restart. Look at the control panel -> services. The IWOV services should be set to automatically start. More likely there is a dependency preventing them from starting. Usually SQL server needs to be running before the event subsystem kicks off, which needs to be running before search (and others). You can fiddle with the restart and dependenacies in the services window. That is preferred to writing your own batch script.

IWOV services are set as automatic and there are no dependencies.
Services dont restart automatically, but I have to restart them. So I want to write a script to restart services automatically. how to link this script with the reboot to make sure that it runs on reboot.

thanks.

With the correct Installation and Configuration, TS should start automatically upon reboot. It is that simple.
As Andy pointed, you have a problem. Check OS and TS logs to see why Servers fail to start, and see what can
be done.

As to running something on reboot - there are several methods. Benign one is a Scheduler:
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks
Schedule your Task and Select option "when my computer starts".

Fix the problem, not the symptom.

Do not write a script to restart your services. This will be difficult to maintain and understand for whoever takes over for you. Control Panel -> services allows you to ADD a dependancy and retry options.

Do some debugging. Read logs. Figure out what is the 1st program not to start up and why. Then fix it, maybe with a dependancy or a retry.

1) I have to use "net start iwproxy" command in bat file , insteade of
"iwreset -a" , correct ? how come when I use "net start -h" , I get error message "The Service name is invalid". When I use "netstart -h" on command prompt, I get error message 'netstart' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

What happens , if I use "iwreset -a" instead of "net start" command ?

2)
I looked at different options available to schedule a bat file. Which are as follows.

"Daily"
"weekly"
"monthly"
"once"
"At system startup"
"at logon"
"when idle"

If I want the script to run at windows system reboot, I have to select "At System startup", right ?

Learn your tools - I do not believe there is any command called "iwstart" - you probably mean "iwreset" - which will first attempt to take a number (not all, but most) of the TeamSite related services down, and then bring them back up again (it does some other things too).

Also - "net start" is a Windows command - not an Interwoven command - as such - you need to use Windows command syntax to get information about it - like:

net start /?

to get help or

net start | find "Interwoven"

to get a list of all the Interwoven services that are running (it won't show you which ones are not running.

Again - as has already been pointed out - you are grasping on fixing a symptom instead of solving the problem. If Interwoven is installed correctly - you should not need to do anything about this. If there is a problem with the installation such that services are not starting up correctly - you need to find out why by looking at various log files and potentially working with Interwoven Support if you cannot figure it out on your own.

As everyone told, try to fix the problem and not the symptom. There must be some errors coming in the log files, so try to debug these log files.
Teamsite server always starts the services when it reboots, if it is installed properly.
Suggestion will be - Dont write batch file and schedule it to run every time server reboots.
