.bat exited with error code 0 - batch-file

I have a batch file called test.bat in server which contains 2 call batch command inside it.
I am running this test.bat from another server using psexec command
The first call batch file command working fine however when it goes to next call batch command its throwing error ".bat exited with error code 0."
Actually what the second command does is that something like below
call D:\abc\def\ghi\test2.bat test >>test.log
I am not sure why its failing in this line. Is it due to write permission?
Please advise...

Error code 0 actually means success. This is psexec reporting that the remote execution completed successfully.

Finally I resolved by the below command and write the log in my local server where I am running the psexec command
psexec -u username -p password \\testserver "c:\test\test.bat" 1>Outputlog

Writing Batch file that monitors a certain web page's status

The issue
I am trying to create a batch file that will execute the following two commands:
cd /some/path
dotnet run
that produces the following output:
It starts my localhost server.
Trying To Accomplish
What I would like to do is, put those two commands in a batch file and automatically open Chrome to the server address, HOWEVER, the dotnet command takes some time to finish. So somehow, I would have to keep monitoring localhost to see if it is available.
Any help would be appreciated. Although opening a CMD window, typing those 2 commands, and waiting a minute isn't all that much of a problem, it sure would be nice to just click on a batch file.
Thank you.
You can create a batch file like this code :
#echo off
Set "ApplicationPath=%UserProfile%\source\repos\PruttPos\PruttPosSystem\"
CD /D "%ApplicationPath%"
dotnet run
Start "Chrome" Chrome.exe "http://localhost:5000"
pause

Executing FART.exe (find and replace text) commands on remote server through SSH

I'm executing a batch file on a remote server from our build server (Jenkins) through SSH. The batch file uses fart.exe commands to find and replace text. I have placed the fart.exe in C:\Windows\System32 and I'm invoking it as C:\windows\system32\fart.exe in the batch file.
The command works perfectly fine oin the remote server, but when invoking through SSH I get an error in the Jenkins log as:
'"C:\windows\system32\fart.exe"' is not recognized as internal or external command.
This is the only error I'm getting and the other commands successfully execute in the batch script. Both of the servers are Windows Server 2012 R2.
I tried adding the path to system variable but it didn't work.
This is how the Fart.exe is used in the batch script.
for /R "%BACKUP_SOURCE%" %%G in (%ConfigFile%) do (
"C:\windows\system32\fart.exe" "%%G" %PlaceHolder% %AppPath%
)
Invoking From Jenkins
I don't think the way i invoke the batch script do matter, because it is done trough the Jenkins SSH plugin. The batch script get invoked successfully. The error i get is from when executing the Fart.exe
I tried invoking a different command of an exe located in the same path, and that is successfully invoked. so i guess the issue is isolated to FART.EXE.

Nunit result xml is not updated during Jenkins build

I have configured NUnit tests to run after build completed.(Jenkins)
I added following on Excecute windows batch command window in Jenkins.
rmdir ClickOnceInstall /Q /S
mkdir ClickOnceInstall
CD BuildScripts
Start.bat
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.6.2\bin\nunit-console-x86.exe" AA.Tests\bin\x86\Release\AA.Tests.dll /xml=nunit-result.xml
It seems Execute unit test command doesn't create result file as specified name and marked as failed. However, when I run the nunit test command manually it creates the file. Next time build through Jenkins, result xml file does not seem to be updated but it doesn't fail.
am I missing any configuration or something else?
It would help if you would paste the console log.
However, my first guess is to ask you to add call to your batch file statement:
call Start.bat
If that batch file has an exit /b statement (even with 0), it will quit the whole calling step (i.e. "Execute windows batch command") without getting to your last statement (i.e nunit command).
Using call in front of the batch file will make sure that control is returned to the calling step.

windows, Putty, pscp combined in to a single batch file, is it possible?

I'm having trouble getting an answer to my question, in laymens terms. It is probably my lack of knowledge on the subject so, I'm dumbing down the question. I have a windows machine that I run the putty tool from and connect to a linux box. I run " killall /bob/bin/myfile.out " then close putty then type in a cmd prompt pscp.exe myfilet.out.2.3.4 root#192.168.1.1:/bob/bin/myfile.out . Can someone show me how to combine these into a single windows batch file? thank you
You could use the free command line tool Plink to run commands on external servers via SSH.
#echo off
Plink root#192.168.1.1 "killall /bob/bin/myfile.out"
pscp.exe myfilet.out.2.3.4 root#192.168.1.1:/bob/bin/myfile.out || echo an error occurred when copying the file.
the command after || on the second line will only run if an error level is set by the previous command.
I can't add comments yet, but can you elaborate on how you login with putty, but not do the exact same thing with plink? Plink not only accepts all the same options as putty, but if you have a saved session in putty, you can access it from plink. Without any subcommands, plink should essentially make you CMD shell look like a crude putty window, with subcommands, it will execute them and return:
C:\Users\riglerjo>plink savedputtysession
Using username "rigler".
# hostname
s9-chicago.accountservergroup.com
-bash-3.2$ exit
logout
Run the remote command as an option on plink:
C:\Users\riglerjo>plink savedputtysession hostname
s9-chicago.accountservergroup.com

MSBuild PSExec hangs without error while executing batch file

As part of as our Team Build MSBuild script, we have a deployment batch file which I need to execute on a remote server:
<Exec Command="psexec -accepteula \\servername D:\Build_Drop\DeploySites.bat "/>
I can confirm it is not permissions or firewall: if the bat command is changed to run iisreset or calc.exe for example, the command will work.
I have tried -s and >nul flags, and also wrapping the batch file in a call to cmd. I have tried with and without quotes around the bat cmd.
All the options I have tried will work fine from the cmd line on the build server, but none will work from within the build script itself.
Any ideas?
Adding a -i parameter to psexec seems to have worked.
Oddly, we now get the error message:
The command "psexec -accepteula \\server -i cmd /c "D:\Build_Drop\DeploySites.bat"" exited with code 5. Please verify that you have sufficient rights to run this command.
But the command does actually work
