MSleep – Auxiliary tools for supplementing Batch scripts
% by LoRd_MuldeR <mulder2@gmx> | http://muldersoft.com/
The following tools, 32-Bit and 64-Bit versions, are included in the “MSleep” suite at this time:
Wait (sleep) for the specified amount of time, in milliseconds.
Usage:
msleep.exe <timeout_ms>
Exit status:
0 - Timeout expired normally
1 - Failed with error
2 - Interrupted by user
Note: Process creation overhead will be measured and compensated.
Wait until a file is changed. File changes are detected via "archive" bit.
Usage:
notifywait.exe [options] <name_1> [<name_2> ... <name_N>]
Options:
--clear unset the "archive" bit *before* monitoring for file changes
--reset unset the "archive" bit *after* a file change was detected
--quiet do *not* print the file name that changed to standard output
--debug turn *on* additional diagnostic output (for testing only!)
Exit status:
0 - File change was detected
1 - Failed with error
2 - Interrupted by user
Remarks:
The operating system sets the "archive" bit whenever a file is changed.
If a file's "archive" bit is already set, a change is detected right away.
Either clear the "archive" bit beforehand, or use the --clear option!
If *multiple* files are given, the program detects changes in *any* file.
If a directory is given, *any* changes in that directory are detected.
Convert file name or relative path into fully qualified "canonical" path.
Usage:
realpath.exe [options] <filename_1> [<filename_2> ... <filename_N>]
Options:
--exists requires the target file system object to exist
--file requires the target path to point to a regular file
--directory requires the target path to point to a directory
Exit status:
0 - Path converted successfully
1 - Failed with error
2 - Interrupted by user
Wait (sleep) until the specified processes all have terminated.
Usage:
waitpid.exe [options] <PID_1> [<PID_2> ... <PID_n>]
Options:
--waitone exit as soon as *any* of the specified processes terminates
--shutdown power off the machine, as soon as the processes have terminated
--timeout exit as soon as the timeout (default: 30 sec) has expired
--pedantic abort with error, if a specified process can *not* be opened
--quiet do *not* print any diagnostic messages; errors are shown anyway
Environment:
WAITPID_TIMEOUT timeout in millisonds, only if `--timeout` is specified
Exit status:
0 - Processes have terminated normally
1 - Failed with error
2 - Aborted because the timeout has expired
3 - Interrupted by user
