Sending commands to SRCDS from Batch files

How do I give commands to a srcds.exe, that is already running under Watchdog, from a batch file?

You can't send an rcon command via a batch file. What are you trying to do?

I'm running a window's scheduled event every night that restarts the server. I want to send a say command that tells everyone the server is restarting in 5 minutes.

Oh god I'm genius. I just made a vbScript instead:

Code:

Set ws = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ws.AppActivate "Your window name that you want to type to"
ws.SendKeys "your command here"
ws.SendKeys "{ENTER}"

With some admin mods you should be able to schedule an event. I know I've done it with BeetlesMod.

I prefer using batch files instead, easier to work with and more organizable.

If you guys want, I can give out a zip file that restarts the server, updates it and monitors your server for crashes. No plugins or other programs required, just a Windows OS.
