Some questions about batch files…..

So, I have a batch file called batch1.bat.

Within that batch file, I have 5 commands that kick off different reports
from our ERP app..

I would like to be able to tell the batch file this:
If it is 2am on Monday, kick off report 1, but don’t touch the others.
If it is 3 am on Tuesday, kick off report 2, but don’t touch the others.

If this is possible, how would i script this out?

You could try this:
@echo off
set Hour=%time:~0,2%
set DOW=%date:~0,3%
if /i %DOW%==Mon if %Hour%= 2 goto Report1
if /i %DOW%==Tue if %Hour%= 3 goto Report2
if ...
goto :eof

:Report1
[do something]
goto :eof

:Report2
[do something else]
goto :eof

You may need to tweak the "if" statement to suit your
particular time format (leading/no leading zeros, 12/24
hour clock).
