Is there a relatively easy way to do something where I can click one icon, file, .bat and have numerous software programs run against a file?
You get files from images that you have taken, and before disseminating to both sides, you run various programs against the files to make sure they are clean.
Can this be done, and if so can you be gentile and help me get started with it.
Icon would be either on desktop, or on a thumbdrive.
Thank you.
Really depends on what the programs are that you want to run, and what kind of command line options they make available.
A DOS batch script is one easy option for simple stuff. But there is no end of options for doing more sophisticated scripting, such as Python, Perl, or Windows PowerShell.
I am going to say you can do this in PowerShell. The question would be can the programs accept some kind of variables when launched to be directed at the file in question?
For example running some of Harlan's Perl scripts is pretty easy to script, telling Symantec Enterprise to scan a particular file for malware would take quite a bit more research and troubleshooting to script.
What programs?
