nah! - you don't want to be creating 11 different bat files for all your users.

The easy-peesie way is to fire-up user manager for domains and set the user "description field" to something like...

ID=11

Then in your KiX script - use the @comment macro to read this value dynamically.

From there - its an easy stretch to parse-out the value then poke the registry.

This approach will have you singing "Unforgettable" before you know it !

Let us know if you want to pursue this strategy further (I use it) !

You may add some excellent ideas/solutions for our fellow scripters... but your attempts at being a lyricist are shocking!!!!!!! "unforgettable" indeed....

Shawn.

Glad to see someone's paying attention !

excellent .... 100 pts .... strategic ....well cooked .... etc.

but isn't the Route 66 (w/wout Kix) not only a mythos????

I once dreamt about touring da ole '66 from east to west with my very own and special
Hog brought by ship from ole europe 2 weeks before i even take my 'Lift-Off' @ Frankfurt/Germany.....

keep on scripting brother

_________________________

Route 66 is real my brother !

I've even seen photographs !! Complete with funky road signs and greasy-spoon truck stops !!!

Maybe Bryce (down there in Texarkana) can shed some light on this mythos ???

Just to stay on topic :

KIX KIX KIX KIX KIX KIX KIX KIX KIX KIX KIX

There - whew !

Shawn.

$kix = "66"
? "Route $kix"

there got that out of the way, need to stay on topic and all that!

yes Route 66 is a real thing, I belive it was one of Americas first interstate roads, latter made famous by a popular song "I get my KIX on route 66", the road travels E-W accross the US, built arround the 1920-1930's I think.

here is a web page that has the full history http://www.isuzuperformance.com/bill/coral.html

and as a side note my place of residence is Texas, Houston if ya want to be specific

Bryce

i know that KIX resides on route 66.

code:

---

$way="too far"
$road="route 66"
$job="boring"
$holiday="0"
$team="IBM"
$script="KIX"
IF $holiday > $way
 ? "i get my $script on $road"
ELSE
 IF $team = $job
  ? "You never manage to get on $road"
ENDIF

---

ok stop jerking around

nat: did Shawns first reply brought You closer to a Solution ??? -> must be

Shawn Bryce: maybe we meet one Day , maybe at a conference of KIX scripters anywhere between Canada Texas and Germany.

So now its 6:50 pm here in the GMT + 1 hr. Zone and i will close the bazar for today @Big Blue ....

Cheers

OK - I've plotted our coordinates and triangluated our positions - I figure halfway would be somewhere (far) off the coast of Newfoundland ( where that he says ) ...

http://www.atlapedia.com/online/maps/political/Canada.htm

Look east ( and then some ) !

I figure it would be right around the spot where the Titanic met it's fate !

Since Jack is in Ottawa ( and I'm in Toronto ), maybe I can swing by and pick him up too. Then we'll rent a dingy and start paddling like crazy ! I mean - it's just a big pond isn't it ?

Can't speak for Bryce but I'm sure he'd attend because he'd be out of pager range !

Seriously now...

Hey nat - how are you making out ?

Actually I was doing some thinking 'bout your problem and there are probably numerous ways of implementing what your after ( ie. incremental values for users ).

Give us an update !

Shawn.
