Check date: If Wednesday run batch script

[e2e2]

Hi guys,

We use avast adnm 4.8 and it has no shutdown scanning option.
I have made a batch script to run Avast on shutting down.
_________________________________________________________________
@echo off
shutwdown -a
pushd "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4"
cls
echo --------------------------------------------------------------
echo Bezig met scannen, de computer wordt automatisch uitgezet...
echo --------------------------------------------------------------
aswcmd C: /m /*
popd "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4"
shutdown -s
_________________________________________________________________

But I only want to scan the computers on wednesday. So if its not Wednesday computers must shutdown without scan.

I need a script to check de current date and run if it's wednesday. I want to use this script as shutdown script. If it is possible with a batch script its also fine.

Thanks in advance,

e2e2

Use one of the techniques here - http://superuser.com/questions/90758...-in-batch-file

Or convert your batch script to VBScript, then it's simply:

If DatePart("W",Date) = 4 Then
  'Wednesday
End If

Hi,

Tnx for your reply. I am new to VBscript.

I look for a vbscript that check the date, if it is Wednesday start the batch script if not go shut down.

Try this as a Windows shutdown script (set in Group Policy), named scan.vbs for example.

Dim WshShell

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

If DatePart("W",Date) = 4 Then
  'Today is Wednesday, so run the virus scan
  WshShell.Run """C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\aswcmd"" C: /m /*", , True
End If

That's all you need, because if this script is run on system shutdown it will exit (after the End If) and the computer will shut down.

This is working perfect. Thank you very much !

I want also that every computer that runs av create .txt file to network directory "\\server\avastlog". only on wednesday. How can i do that?

Sorry, I've no idea. Maybe look at what command line options your Avast provides.
