K5 - tool to convert BAT files to K script

Hi,

Here is a little batch file I wrote to convert a batch file to a Kaseya 5 script.

This way, you can work out all the little nigglies for a script in batch form, and when things are good to go, you can import to Kaseya.

NOTE: I have only written and tested this script. I have not yet used it for creating a script so can't tell you it's success rate Wink

Usage: converttokscript batchfile.bat

Chris,

This is going to fail in all sorts of horrible ways unfortunately.

The reason is that each Execute Shell Command has a separate environment context, whereas a batch file has a single environment context.

That is, if you define a variable on line one of the batch file, you won't be able to use it on line 3, once you convert the script.
