Month: August 2013

Bonus! I created this little guy to take care of the indexer, too.

The rest of the scripts are available here.

This script relies on three other batch files to do the heavy lifting of restarting EAS. I’ve set this script to run at 0600 every morning via Scheduled Tasks. Easy peasy.

The whole script is outlined here.

This script accepts the process name as a parameter and then runs in a loop until it kills all of the matching processes. The server name and kill command are global variables set in the calling script.

The whole script is outlined here.

I created this little tiny script for readability’s sake. I could easily have folded it into one giant batch file, but I like to document what I’m doing, and leave behind a well-polished tool for the people I work with.

This script takes the name of the service as it’s one argument and then issues a polite “stop” command via the sc.exe program. The server is a global variable available from the calling batch file, which is outlined here.

:: This script relies on the global variables of the script

This tiny batch file uses a built in tool to kill all running Notes processes.

EAS, Autonomy’s (now an HP company) enterprise archiving product does best if it’s restarted periodically. EAS accesses either the Domino or Exchange mail servers by using Notes and Outlook client code to pull messages out of the mail store and put it aside on a file server. In the case of accessing Domino, simply restarting the EAS server sometimes leaves nlnotes.exe or other Notes processes running.

This script uses the built in Notes debug tool nsd.exe to simply do it’s job — kill all running Notes & Domino processes. It’s one step in a larger set of batch scripts that restart all of the EAS processes, available here.

EAS, Autonomy’s (now an HP company) enterprise archiving product does best if it’s restarted periodically. EAS accesses either the Domino or Exchange mail servers by using Notes and Outlook client code to pull messages out of the mail store and put it aside on a file server.

This is a series of scripts that work in conjunction with one another to restart EAS.

This area will contain all sorts of batch files for the miscellaneous things I automate from time to time.

This category will contain scripts of all kinds, rather than having OS X scripts, and Powershell and batch files in their own areas.
