I cannot reproduce your results - when I run your code, everything seems to execute properly.
But I get similar illogical results as yours if I restructure the code and attempt to TYPE the job.bat instead of CALL it.
master.batCode: Select all
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
title Master
start "Slave" "%comspec%" /c "slave.bat"
>nul ping -n 2 127.0.0.1
set count=0
for /l %%. in (1,1,10000) do (
if !count! lss 30 if not exist job.bat (
set /a count+=1
>job.bat.tmp echo !count!
ren job.bat.tmp job.bat
set count
)
)
Code: Select all
@echo off
for /l %%. in () do if exist "job.bat" (
type "job.bat"
del job.bat
)

Just as in your more recent code, I must manually close the Slave window.
I don't understand why I get that particular error message - I cannot think of a logical reason for the job.bat file to be inaccessible to TYPE.
Here is another weird thing - if I change the temp file name from "job.bat" to "job.txt", then the failure rate is drastically reduced (not shown), but it still does fail a few times.
But anyway, after restoring the temp file name to job.bat, I then modify slave.bat to try again if the first TYPE fails. I also hide any error message from the first attempt:
slave.batCode: Select all
@echo off
for /l %%. in () do if exist "job.bat" (
2>nul type "job.bat"||type "job.bat"
del job.bat
)

Everything works now as expected
Okay... I can't explain why, but there seems to be some weird timing issue that makes the file unavailable for a time. So I thought we just need an appropriate delay...
But at
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5824&p=46046#p46046 I tried incorporating a delay in the raycast demo before each compute engine attempts to execute the temporary job script, and it didn't solve the issue.
