batch-processing

I use scheduled tasks that calls a batch file, that calls more batch files to move about three files from a pc, to a server, then to multiple other pcs. It all happens very quickly, as they are small files.

Are there any pitfalls for how fast these transfers happen? I'm just mildly concerned about causing some disk corruption somehow.

I use logic like 1. Call MapToPc if files exist then move file to folder on server. Disconnect

2. Call SendtoPCs If files exist (the files just moved to the server) then MapToPCs Move all files Disconnect

All of this happens in about 2 secs or less.

edit: this on windows 7, server 2003, xp respectively

In python, you might do something like fout = open('out','w') fin = open('in') for line in fin: fout.write(process(line)+"\n") fin.close() fout.close() (I think it would be similar in many other languages as well). In emacs lisp, would you do something like (find-file 'out') (setq fout (current-buffer) (find-file… >>> More
