SMN True - although 30 seconds isn't what I would consider to be _very_ short
SMN intervals. Or?
But nevertheless it
between each time TB
is checking thebat.IPC! Remember, TB is actually checking thebat.IPC
every 10th second (unless the countdown is reset by starting a second
TB). Hence, if TB is checking thebat.IPC every 10th second, then 30
seconds isn't what I would consider to be _very_ short intervals
and then. You could do that with a scheduled /EXIT when you're in doubt
if the .IPC file is still interpreted, couldn't you?
Unfortunately, no! /EXIT relies on thebat.IPC - thus if TB ignore reading
thebat.IPC then /EXIT won't work either! If TB had a last resort - like if a

From the TB help file:
For those who are familiar with programming, here's a handy hint:
The Bat! checks a file called TheBat.IPC which is located in the
same directory in which The Bat! executable (TheBat.exe) file is
located. Within this text file, each line represents one command

exactly how do you send TB that IPC command
when TB fails to read the file that contains the request!?!
You don't send an IPC command, you use the command line which passes its
commands to the running TB instance. That is in the helpfile,
, TB may at any time simply stop
looking for thebat.IPC - and thus TB won't know of the _future_
commands you send it (by the way of the command line).
(In fact, you don't even have to use _command_line_ method - you
may simply create the file (thebat.IPC) manually - just make sure

Have you investigated why this is happening
Alexander S. Kunz:
Have you investigated why this is happening? SysInternals
FileMon may be of help. Maybe your on-access virus scanner
blocks the file, something like that?
Funny that you ask - I am currently running FileMon here
(with an exclusive logging of thebat.IPC-accesses
Huh? I am sending a bunch of start-up parameters to TB, but TB
fails to execute them.
The commands just pile up in the thebat.IPC-file - why is that?
Deleting or emptying thebat.IPC does not fix it.
Exiting the TB and then restart does not fix it.
Rebooting the entire PC fixes

Rebooting the entire PC fixes it - but that's not elegant!
That is, some sort of a _combination_ of 1 and 2 works:
Deleting thebat.IPC fixes it when TB is restarted (no reboot

Marek AFAIK The Bat looks every 10 seconds for a file in its directory
Marek called TheBat.IPC for external feeding of commands.
can that be explained more? what external feeding of commands is it
looking for? should I have
