  • Batch Files as a Timed Event

    From Tim Whitson@VERT/FQBBS to All on Sat Feb 19 21:31:57 2022
    I have a NIGHT.BAT file that runs all the maintenance files for the door games. I have noticed it is not running under the timed events. If I execute it manually but double clicking on it, it runs just fine. If I tell it to run under a Forced Time Event, it does not run. It returns with a 255 code. Any ideas?
