Question

I need to execute a synchronizing application continuously with a batch file. What I want to do is something like:

while true
   execute application
   sleep 1 minute
end while

Can this be done with CMD?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Using pure batch you could do this:

:LOOP
yourprogram.exe
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 61 >NUL
goto :LOOP

This means you don’t have to install any other programs or create more scripts. It might not be pretty but it works! I have pinged 61 times as pinging the loopback seems to create a delayed second.
