Answer a question

Here is the bat command which uses for checking service status and according to condition either stop the service or start service.

//Bat Command

for /F "tokens=3 delims=: " %%H in ('sc query wuauserv ^| findstr "STATE"') do ( if /I "%%H" NEQ "Running" ( net start wuauserv ) else (echo "Hello World"))

//JenkinsFile

bat 'for /F "tokens=3 delims=: " %%H in ('sc query wuauserv ^| findstr "STATE"') do ( if /I "%%H" NEQ "Running" ( net start wuauserv ) else (echo "Hello World"))'

when I put the batch command in the Jenkins file showing a syntax error. in the end when I remove the syntax Error but now command did not work properly

//Without Syntax Error Jenkins file

bat 'for /F "tokens=3 delims=: " %%H in ("sc query wuauserv ^| findstr "STATE"") do ( if /I "%%H" NEQ "Running" ( net start wuauserv ) else (echo "Hello World"))'

I just want that batch command to fit in the Jenkins file and work properly.

I figure it out by simply skipping the ('') because these are used again in the command causing the syntax error so I skip them by using \ in the command. the command now works perfectly fine without groovy syntax Error.

//Here is the Example

bat 'for /F "tokens=3 delims=: " %%H in (\'sc query wuauserv ^| findstr "STATE"\') do ( if /I "%%H" EQU "Running" ( net stop wuauserv ) else (echo "Service already stopped"))'
