No need for the Quit:
Code:
Break On
For Each $arg in GetCommandline(1)
If Left($arg,1)="$$" "Argument: "+SubStr($arg,2)+@CRLF EndIf
Next
You just need to prefix your switch with a "$". Consider the following, which in order comprises a simple switch, a complex switch with a parameter and a bare parameter value:
Quote:
C:\Temp>kix32 cl.kix $/s $/p:"A switch with a parameter" $asimpleparameter
Argument: /s
Argument: /p:A switch with a parameter
Argument: asimpleparameter
Using the "/" means that there is no chance of a variable namespace clash.

I like the idea.
This probably does not work right now, but it seams more intuitive:
Code:
$args = split(GetCommandline(),"/")

Yes, but we know you come from a different background 
I'm not saying one can't use or come up with ideas, methods for it's use, just curious why/how normal admins would use it.
I've been scripting now for quite a while and I've so far managed to run my scripts without it. Doesn't mean maybe I couldn't be more efficient though I suppose, just most scripts are one offs. Those that run often are typically already either part of Logon script, or the script contains all it needs to know to complete the task.
But hey if there is a real need for it then that's great, I hope Ruud listens to the suggestion.

I love this idea, when i am at a remote site on our domain i dont like to sit there for 5 minutes waiting for drives,printers,etc to map. I can use this as a kill switch of sorts, prompting to ask if i want to do certain tasks or not.
Break On
For Each $arg in GetCommandline(1)
If Left($arg,1)="$$"
$cmd_arg=SubStr($arg,2)
EndIf
if $cmd_arg='administrator'
? "ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND"
endif
Next

maybe, but hopefully your not trying to map a drive to servers 10 miles away from the location. The logic is not the problem its just windows. In house it takes approx 3-4 seconds

The branches use Frame Relay links for communication, with the smallest branches using 256Kbps channels (128K nominal, 256Kbps burst). The Kix32 loads from the NetLogon share, so the time includes loading Kix, the script, and the config file.
