- May I suggest:
-
- copy autoexec.bat autoexec.tmp
- type autoexec.tmp > autoexec.bat
- del autoexec.tmp
-
- This way, except while the second command is actually running, you always
- have a valid autoexec.bat. If the system goes down at the wrong time it
- won't be a disaster but it will be inconvenient. My way you can always
- start over from the beginning as long as each command completes whereas
- the first way it depends on where you are in the sequence.
