Looping Batch Script Recipe

1. Create a file named diagscript.bat with contents based on the following. Add your desired commands between the echo ... Iteration and the timeout lines.

   @echo off
   SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
   
   :loop
   
   echo [%date% %time%] Iteration
   
   timeout /t 30 > NUL
   
   goto loop

2. Open a command prompt and change directory to where you would like to store the script output:

   cd C:\

3. Execute the script and redirect output to a file:

   C:\diagscript.bat > diagstdlogs.txt 2>&1

4. When you are ready to stop the script, kill it by typing Ctrl^C in the command prompt window.
5. Upload diagstdlogs.txt and any other relevant logs.
