          Turns out we have $17K of repairs that are needed.

            Are they remodeling the kitchen for that cost?

            Seriously valid question.

                      Wrote a extremely simple (ETA:) Windows script last night to update and shutdown my laptop.... I may see about adding a few other things to it but for now - here it is; as is....

                      @Echo off
                      REM 26 Sept 2017
                      REM Created this batch file to update via Choco, and then
                      REM Shutdown this device.
                      
                      Color 6
                      Echo This must be run as Administrator
                      Echo If it is not run as Administrator, it will error
                      Echo And likely perform the Shutdown only.
                      Echo:
                      Echo:
                      Echo Press the -SPACEBAR- to begin update and shutdown
                      pause
                      mode con:cols=80 lines=25
                      choco upgrade all -y
                      Cls
                      mode con:cols=80 lines=20
                      Color 2
                      Echo Update completed
                      Echo Ready to shutdown
                      Echo Shutdown timer set to ZERO
                      timeout 5 >nul
                      shutdown /s -t 0
                      

                      It was mainly done for fun and also function....

                        @gjacobse not bad, but why so verbose, and why have the pause until you hit the space bar? If you wanted to schedule it. This would pause indefinitely without your interaction.

                          It is a WIP -Work In progress. It's there just in case one were to change their mind really... I am debating on combining a script by brother wrote for the computer shutdown into this - I just have to find it again (it's on at least one of the eight drives here and the NAS).

                          As for why is it so verbose? Meh - Many I suppose for myself... but should someone else want it, they had the directions and what it did.

                            Being verbose isn't a bad thing. One of the most annoying things for me is coming into a new dev environment where there is 0 commenting. Yes reading the code speaks for itself but I'm going to read a quick sentence about whats going on more quickly then reading through random code that could have been written by someone who has no idea what they're doing.

                              I wasn't complaining about the verbose-ness, a quick note is a good thing. Having paragraphs on the other hand. . .

                                I'm not a programmer,.. and generally don't build many (if any) scripts... so while it may be long in the tooth in content,.. it tells me what does what later when I want to change it. Since I don't do this often - it'll be a nice reminder.

                                At least in this case - I didn't cite where I got some of the context - which I have done in the past but for more 'involved' scripts that I don't understand...could never write - nor figure out (Thanks @Mike-Davis )

                                I don't code,.. script may not be 'real code' but it's what I am comfortable with - and even then - the higher end stuff is still beyond my current desired skill set.

                                  @gjacobse again, I'm not attacking you, if you need a lot of notes to recall what does what in your script fine.

                                  When I script I put notes in as well, but I limit them to single lines and I don't print them out to the console unless its something like "press space to reboot".

                                  It's perfectly fine, don't get upset with me because I asked why you had so many notes. It was just a question.

                                    I don't consider it an attack of any kind. Nope Nope.. You asked so you could understand.. That's all I saw it as.

                                    No harm - no foul.

                                            Yeah, basically fixing a prior mistake. It's all good now though. And yes, oddly, it is enjoyable. 🙂
