Stop an everlasting alarm sound batch file

[bertikul]

Hi all

I downloaded this .bat:

@echo Off

:alarm

(alarm character)

cls

goto alarm

I want to use it with Real Temp. The problem is that it runs forever (goto alarm). I want it to run/beep for sometime, like 30-60 seconds, and then stop/exit.

Can anyone help me with that PLEASE?

THANKS in advance

Something like this might solve your problem. Increase the 500 value if you need a longer alarm.

@echo Off
for /L %%i in (0,1,500) do (call :alarm)
goto end
:alarm
(alarm character)
cls
goto :EOF
:end

Attached is a similar yet alternative approach using PING.

I include it simply as a way to get more control over your timings, the '30' I used roughly approximates to 30 seconds.

30sBellEnd.cmd

In fact your approach is much easier to controll timings and it works great.

That's what I'using as alarm batch

Thanks a lot.
