How To Start & Run Any Batch File (*.BAT) As A Windows Service With AlwaysUp
Kick off your batch file when your PC boots. Automatically restart it when it stops.
To set up a batch file to run as a Windows Service with AlwaysUp:
- Start AlwaysUp.
- Select Application > Add
to open the Add Application window:
4. On the General tab:
- In the Application field, enter the full path to the batch file. We have chosen our sample batch file, C:\BatchFile\RunNotepad.bat, which contains the following instructions (to launch the Notepad application):
C: CD \Windows .\notepad.exe
- In the Name field, enter the name that you will call the batch file application in AlwaysUp. We have used My Batch File but you can specify virtually anything you like.
- If your batch file calls a
program that needs access to its registry settings, etc., then you will
want to click over to the LogOn tab and enter the user name and
password of the account that can run the software normally.
- Click the Save button. In a couple of seconds, an application called My Batch File will show up in the AlwaysUp window. It is not yet running though.
-
- To start the batch file, choose Application > Start “My Batch File” .
