Need CMD file help

[tyoung5]

Sorry in advance if this is posted in the wrong forum. I'm trying to write a CMD file to be run once a minute with windows scheduler. I have some recent experience programming in VBA (under Excel), but have never written a (complex) CMD file. Below is a pretty good explanation of the logic (uploaded in TXT also). I'd appreciate if someone would get me started in the right direction (or write the whole thing if you want!) I'd use that as a learning tool too.


IF "particular web pages" ARE NOT being visited
OR particular processes ARE NOT running
AND "MyEXE" IS NOT running THEN
GOTO END

ELSE

IF "particular web pages" ARE being visited
OR particular processes ARE running
AND "MyEXE" IS running
GOTO END

ELSE

IF "particular web pages" ARE being visited
OR particular processes ARE running
AND "MyEXE" IS NOT running THEN
RUN "MyEXE"

ELSE

IF "particular web pages" ARE NOT being visited
OR particular processes ARE NOT running
AND "MyEXE" IS running THEN
STOP "MyEXE" REM[ by command line switches...not process end]

SET resulting "MyEXE" file atribute to hidden

ENDIF

END

A batch file is not going to allow you to detect visited websites unless you plan to dig into the temporary internet files folder for each user.

There is only one "user" on the computer. That is, each individual does not have a seperate user name and password. Although it's sounds like it may complicate things, this would be the prefered method. Another option would be to simply check for "iexplorer.exe" process (reducing IF/THEN/ELSE statements?), athough this would initiate "MyEXE" no matter what page was visited. Thanks for the quick respose and relocation of the post. Let me know what you think my options are.
