Extract Autosave settings (file location and time) with a DOS batch file

I would be interested in getting a DOS batch file that would extract users' autosave settings and populating a text log file.  Settings should include autosave time, (zero, 10 etc) and file location of AC$ files.  If anyone has done this I'd be all ears!  Thanks.

I do logging of various things that are written out (appended) to a text file as a chronological log of events.

 

A lisp program can be written for what you need and be put it in the startup lisp file so that it runs when AutoCAD is opened.

It can be written to gather the info and write it out.

It can also be written to read the log file first if it exists and see if the info for a particular user, machine, and profile have been recorded yet or has been recorded within a certain time frame and either replace the specific information or add another entry to the log file.

 

Having a DOS batch file do what you want might not be possible.

Isn't there another topic of similar title where this same request was asked recently?
