How to write a Batch file for Restarting Windchill with some Buffer time?

Question

I need to Restart my windchill service. currently windchill stop and windchill start commands are using in windchill shell. I need to write batch file for this operation. After doing some research I decided to write like this..

NET STOP windchill stop
:: Also I have to set some buffer time for service stopping
NET START windchill start

Answer 1

If windchill is not running as a service:

windchill stop && windchill start

The conditional && will only allow execution of windchill start if windchill stop was successful. In other words, returns %errorlevel% of 1

If you want to rely on a timeout, then use timeout and hope it does not take long.

windchill stop
:wait
timeout /t 5 >nul 2>&1
windchill status | find /I "stopped"
if %errorlevel% equ 0 (
  windchill start
  goto :eof
)
goto :wait

where above example times out for 10 seconds.
