Have I said yet that we all were pretty f*** without Shawn ???

3 Cheers to SHAWN !!!

[Jochen's asking himself how long S. must be in the business to gain that level of knowledge and think's 'must be since they "de-bugged" their Computers with insect-powder and mouse-traps' ]

LOL - I've been scripting for a little while - do the letters "PDP-11" or "RSX11/M" mean anything to you young pups ?

The PDP-11 was (or is) a DEC model that was seen first when I was born ... to say it with B. Adams : Those were the best days of my life !

RSX11/M ... i never heard about that , but hey I know how to search stuff on the web !

......
[lame]

an Operating System ?

It redirects output to CON when it finds a user (where you can pipe to find without any problem), but to the ERROR stream (or whatever the heck that used to be called - Shawn? *grin*).

NET USER nonexistentuser /DOMAIN 1>CON 2>NUL |FIND "whatever" would not return that IRRITATING "username could not be found" message OVER your pipe to FIND

So:

code:

---

 SHELL '%comspec% /c NET USER WHOEVER /DOMAIN 2>NUL | FIND /c "whatever" | CHOICE /c:01 /n' 

---

Could set the errorlevel of kix correctly without having to write to a file AND keeping the screen clean.

*phew*

"It started off like any other thread, a simple question and we all expected a simple answer. But then came the big doggs.. with their fancy-schmancy scripting.. and *POW!* off went the topic! Most of us though we'd never see the end of it and I suspect even the hard-core Bulletin Boarders where getting nervous..."
"We lost a lot of newbees and greenhorns on that horrible day - and even though I considered myself to have the marbles to stand such a thread, it proved me wrong... I learned al lot about myself."

Finally, after months of intensive therapy, I return to the Bulletin Board and what do you know?? Another monster thread; In the first week!Makes me wonder though.. maybe it's not a coincicence.. maybe I'm causing all this!

[how's THAT for off-topic babble?? *grin* Please don't take my stars mr.moderator...]

code:

---

SHELL "%comspec% /c c:\tools\rcmd.exe \\taa-fs1"
If Open(1, "c:\klassen.txt") = 0
     WHILE @ERROR = 0
         $x = ReadLine(1)
         SHELL "%comspec% /c net user $klas$counter /domain 2>nul | find /c "succes"| choice /c:01 /n > nul"
         IF @error=1
         ? "User not found"
else
       ? "user found"
      LOOP
$null=Close(1)
ELSE
SELECT

using rcmd in a script would be better fired off with a single command attached :

code:

---

shell '%Comspec% /C rcmd \\Yourserver yourcommand /yourparams > nul 2>nul'

---

(This will execute the command line on the remote Server and afterwards closes the rcmd session !)
! : the errorlevel returned is always the errorlevel from rcmd.exe (1 = ok !)

To catch the error of a rcmd'd command you might wanna try this :

code:

---

shell '%ComSpec% /c (rcmd \\Server command) > nul 2>nul'
@error ?
get $

---

Untested , cos I'm @home !

Another opportunity might be :

code:

---

shell '%ComSpec% /c (rcmd \\Server command) |find "Whatever" >nul'
@error ;(of find.exe)
get$

---

... think You'll have to check what's best !

Have a nice August !
C'ya in September

Jochen
