Hello all. Is there a way to have MIS on windows 10 Auto-restart? I know
this has been discussed in the past but I cannot locate the messages. For
some unknown reason it keeps shutting off randomly. Thanks.

The most basic trick is:

@REM LOOP.BAT
@ECHO OFF
CD \MYSTIC
:LOOP
MIS
TIMEOUT /T 5
GOTO LOOP

...Trick or Treat? ;)

Thanks bcw142, I tried this but it just keeps loading another MIS every 5 seconds when there is MIS already running.

Odd, that's not what it does under normal Windows10, must have something to do with the Windows7 VM you're using. MIS is noted for dropping under Windows. I guess you need a fancier script that checks for MIS dropping, then restarts
it. Most of us don't have that problem under Windows, I do know there are
some others running under Windows7 in VMs, but not sure anyone else has that problem, it maybe you're the only one running the exact setup you are.

This only works if its MIS and not MIS2 in daemon mode.

This works for me on Win 7 running MIS..

I know this has been replied to but best bet if this is MIS2 vs MIS can use
the batch file bcw142 but need to add a file check to it.


@ECHO OFF
C:
CD \MYSTIC
:LOOP
IF NOT EXIST C:\MYSTIC\SEMAPHORE\MIS.BSY (
MIS
)
TIMEOUT /T 5
GOTO LOOP

I can go in more detail but that for the most part will make sure the file
does not exist then restart MIS. The only other thing would need to do is possible check if the proc is still running but found this un-needed.

Let me know if this helps, also is this MIS or MIS2 in daemon mode?

Cheers!

I can take this a step further to really make it worth your wild.
The below will ensure the process is not running, 2nd will check if the
MIS.BSY file exist and remove it if its not running then restart MIS.

This is using default locations when installed.

@ECHO OFF

:LOOP
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq mis.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "mis.exe">NUL

IF NOT '%ERRORLEVEL%' == '0' (
IF EXIST C:\MYSTIC\SEMAPHORE\MIS.BSY DEL C:\MYSTIC\SEMAPHORE\MIS.BSY
MIS
)
TIMEOUT /T 5
GOTO LOOP

Thanks Pequito I will try that as well. This is for MIS.

Never mind :) it works now. I have no idea why it was not working at first. Thanks a lot.

MIS
)
TIMEOUT /T 5
GOTO LOOP

Thanks a lot Pequito, I will try this method as well just in case :)

I also added this in.

TIMEOUT /T 5
FIDOPOLL KILLBUSY

I've found that's a good thing also :)

I do this when I am using my maint to call the hubs, but I check before I
kill to make sure I am not running more processes then I need to. =)

When MIS shuts down on your system, does it remove the MIS.BSY file in the semaphore directory?

I got it working correctly now bamageek. Thanks

It should but if it ends abnormally you can end up with it still there in
which case you need to manually remove it before being able to restart MIS
