Like half of my job is writing .bat files to automate stuff locally and not tell my boss that all I do anymore is double click the right things in the right order...
Next step, bind them to unused keys on your keyboard and press them in the right order
I suggest Autohotkey ;)
Just set up a drinking bird to set off AHK.
Wow a promotion; fancy!
i propose to create a menu in which you can define what batchfiles to run in what order. its been a while since i worked with batch files, but if memory serves right, that should be doable, no?
Yes. You could make menus and capture keystrokes in batch files
My autoexec.bat back in windows 3 asked if you wanted windows or a command line (most games didn't like the memory overhead of being loaded from windows)
I'd recommend scheduled tasks instead. Why be involved at all? :-)
Do you ever list your job title as Batman?
only if they keep the it room as dark as possible and whenever someone walks in for help they jump up onto the desk with a flashlight and yell "I'M BATMAN' while wearing a cape and underpants.
Tra-la-la!
50% hero. 100% cotton.
Well I work from home so I do keep my room dark, I like to have a blanket over my shoulders, it's not uncommon for me to just be in my underwear... Honestly I'm most of the way there
No, because the IRS wants to tax Batman
I had a job like that and powershell was a godsend. I let it slip when I accidentally set the multiplier for the delay randomiser too low and it did a months work in a morning. I ended up writing a guide for the others there when I left but sadly everyone but me had computers that supported newer versions of Windows where the scripts ended up broken. They asked me to come back and update it the Monday after I left. I asked if they would pay me to do it. They said no. Then I said no.
This is part of why I still have manual kickoffs for mine. Never need to worry about work getting done while I'm away or getting done suspiciously fast. Also they should have paid you lol, the dingdongs. Would cost a lot more just in work lost having someone else spend time deciphering and fixing it. They could always get someone else up to speed with the system after it is fixed by you so there's little or no down time
Me but with pythonautogui
