Hi G00r00,

For my script to work for keeping MIS up, it needs to have a unique name (now MIS & MIS2 are the same name). Could you possibly add " v2" or something to the

title? MIS finally shut itself down for no reason so I need my script running again. {chuckle} For now I moved everything back to MIS and don't even start up

MIS2 to begin with so it's working for now. :)

I am assuming you're using Windows and a batch file? If you want a MIS loop you'd look at the errorlevels and then loop if its not a "normal" exit (255,
10 and 1 are normal exits):

:start

mis
if errorlevel 255 goto done
if errorlevel 10 goto done
if errorlevel 1 goto done
goto start

:done

Ok I'll check that out, but right now I rely on the Start cmd so that may not work.

Almost {chuckle} the above script will restart ONLY if the errorlevel is 0 since in a batch file "if errorlevel" translates into "if errorlevel is equal to or higher than" ... The only question I have is errorlevel 0, a normal exit by most standards. How does MIS & MIS2 use zero exits, if at all?


This is what I ended up with:

=== Cut ===
@Echo off
isdate >>\mystic\miserror.mylog

:start
cd \mystic

mis.exe
if errorlevel 255 goto exit
if errorlevel 11 goto error
if errorlevel 10 goto exit
if errorlevel 2 goto error
if errorlevel 1 goto exit

:error
logmsg è MIS ABend %ERRORLEVEL% >>\mystic\miserror.mylog
echo
goto start

:exit
=== Cut ===


An example log it generates:

=== Cut ===

Today is Thu May 18 2017 138
 18:46:06 è MIS2 ABend 0
 18:46:17 è MIS2 ABend 0
 18:47:17 è MIS2 ABend 0
 18:47:27 è MIS2 ABend 0
 18:47:41 è MIS2 ABend 0
=== Cut ===

The above was generated by trying to manually shutdown MIS2 over & over again {chuckle} which returns 0!

Yep, I understand how they work and the example batch I gave you for MIS
should do what it is supposed to do. :)

MIS exits with 255 when you shut it down from the UI (i.e. press escape), it exits with either 1 or 10 on a startup error which is a configuration
mistake.

Anything else is not normal...

If the program crashes and exits unexpectedly, it will exit with a 0 which means no exitlevel. When you encounter that exit, you should reload it. If you encounter a known exit, it should exit gracefully.

The batch file does those things.

Ok, mine will do that, thanks.
