  I have been tasked with writing a script that will restart a failed batch job that writes output to a file. When the batch job is restarted, the task is then that the output will be appended to the existing output file and not overwrite it. Has anyone written a script similar to that?

  Use Register-ScheduledJob to persist a job across reboots.

  You can also use  a Workflow with checkpoints

  jrv ... for the register-scheduled job, does that also work with batch files? 

  Here's a snippet of my code so far:

  Start-job C:\AutoRunFio\Knobs\Default\RestoreToDefault.bat -wait
  Start-job C:\AutoRunFio\Knobs\Battery\Knob.bat -wait
  Start-job C:\AutoRunFio\Knobs\Default\RestoreToDefault.bat -wait

  Did you read the links I posted?

  You would not design any solution the way you have done this.  Why have multiple jobs for one sequential process.

  Also the code would have to be redesigned to make it restartable.  This would indicate that  converting the batch files to PwoerShell might be the best option.
