I’m having the batch file to stop and start service.So,i’m coverting this batch file into fixlet using Software distribution and the command for silent installation i’m providing is “/S”,but when i’m pushing this fixlet using Server automation it is able to deploy but it is not making any changes in the endpoint.
Below you can see the log file

Hi Manish,
Does “stopServer.bat” / “stopNode.bat” / “stopManager.bat” get written out as part of the fixlet?
To me it looks like the fixlet is looking for a *.bat file in the client directory, but maybe that file does not exist.
Hi paul
what i’m doing directly i’m converting that bat file to fixlet using software distribution.I’m not making any changes in the fixlet…would you like me to add something to that fixlet.
Please make me clear because I need to complete today EOD.Your help will be highly appreciated 
Hi Manish,
Generally, you do something like this:
delete __createfile
delete stop.bat
createfile until END_STOP_BAT
<full contents of the bat file goes here>
END_STOP_BAT
move __createfile stop.bat
waithidden stop.bat
delete stop.bat
What’s happening here:
- You delete any potentially pre-existing “stop.bat” file
- You then write out a new “stop.bat” file writing the contents of the batch file you want to execute
- You then execute that “stop.bat” file
- You delete the “stop.bat” file when you’re done.
See if that works.
Could you share the actual actionscript of your fixlet?

Thanks for your support Paul_curran. The above code really hepled me 
No problem Manish - glad it was useful to you
