MarkB MarkB Lurker Registered: 2002-07-16 Posts: 4 Loc: England	I am looking for some help to write a logon script that basically executes a file that audits the pc and then writes a text file with a date. I want this to run everyday and if the date = for example July i dont want the executable to run but if it doesnt = the date then i want the executable to run. Hope ive explained this properly? Anyones help would be grateful Kind Thanks

Breaker Breaker Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-06-15 Posts: 268 Loc: Yorkshire, England	I take it that you already have the executable you mention - something like Visual Audit Pro, or suchlike, I guess? - so you just need to determine the date, and call the executable. Something like this might suit you:- code: If @MONTHNO = 7 ;Or whatever date-related criteria you choose Goto Skip Else Shell "%COMPSPEC% /c c:\vap.exe" ;Or whatever you need to run Endif :Skip ;Carry on the rest of the script here... There are a couple of good UDFs that will write log files as you need - search under WriteLog in the UDF forum. If you would prefer the audit/inventory to be done by Kix itself then you shuld begin by searching the board for "inventory" or "audit" - look for "wmi" as well as this is an invaluable tool in software and hardware inventory. There are dozens of examples on the board that should help to get you started.

In the above script no executable will be run for the month July. Of course it is possible that you can make it more complex f.e. verify it is already installed or updated. Possible by checking for f.e. registry keys or specifice files. When it has to deal will Scriptlogic we advise to put your request also on their forum. greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA

Topic: ABC's of KiXtart board etiquette Unless your post has some actual code to be discussed, it should be in the Starters forum (item A). It helps to be descriptive in the topic as well (item F). Questions like these have been answered often (item F). _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.
