Currently, I want a remote machine (Amazon EC2 instance) to run a batch file when the machine starts up, and the batch file will close the machine after finishing the tasks.
I tried to put the shortcut of batch file to the startup folder. However, it will be only ran when I use Remote Control Connection to Log in that machine.
So, any other way to solve this problem???
NOTE: I don’t want to log in to that machine since there might be 10 remote machines running at the same time.
Any idea or thought is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
This looks a bit like the question Running Batch File in background when windows boots up, my answer there:
You can use autoexnt for this. It was original designed for windows NT, but is still working in newer versions of windows.
You have to download the Windows 2003 Resource Kit to get it.
