Hey guys,
I have been having trouble with my boot disk script ever since I added the machines data to the script.
Everything works fine in the script but now it won't write to the log file. that is the only trouble I am having. Here is 2 samples of one that works without the machien data and 1 that does not work with the machine data.

Case 1 that works.

code:

Will Hetrick Will Hetrick Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-10-02 Posts: 320 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Howard, That part works. All I am doing that is reading the extra lines out before I get the lines I want to read in the smbios text file. I have displayed the computers serial number, model and make on the screen to make sure they picked up. My problem is where it shell's out to an echo command that filters it to the h:\cinfo.txt file. _________________________ You have at least 2 choices. Each choice changes your destiny. Choose wisely!

The date and time has word flawlessly with the sapce between them for about 6 months. I was wondering if having variables in the echo command was stoping it. [ 15.

What I get is the point at which it is shelling out, the computer freezes and it hangs on to the server. are you using the 16 bit version 2.33 to run this with in dos mode? _________________________ You have at least 2 choices.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	I would put the command that is to be SHELLed out into a string first. Then you can do a code: $shellcommand='%COMSPEC% /e:1024 /c ECHO Whatever' ? $shellcommand shell $shellcommand and look at the string. It might help to find out why it's not working by then typing in the command manually in a DOS prompt. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well... I think you would find those with kixstrip... or something. anyway, you could change structure like: code: Shell "%comspec% /c q:\bin\aefdisk.exe /reboot >> a:\wipe.log" Else Goto X EndIf Exit 1 :X ; run to: code: Shell "%comspec% /c q:\bin\aefdisk.exe /reboot >> a:\wipe.log" Exit 1 EndIf anyway, now as I think of it. can 2.3x set the errorcode returned? like should your exit be just "exit" without return value? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Will Hetrick Will Hetrick Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-10-02 Posts: 320 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	I dug a little deeper into this and The problem seems to come from the echo command and using the '>>' to pipe it to the LAn drive. I can pipe the command to the local drive and everything is fine. I then tried piping it from the local drive to the lan drive and I recieved and insufficient disk space. When I pipe it using '>' It works but overwrites the whole file thus losing all the already cached workstations who login with windows 2000. _________________________ You have at least 2 choices.

Will Hetrick Will Hetrick Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-10-02 Posts: 320 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Lonkero, That part of the script actuallys works. I am more interested in the Echo command to the h:\cinfo.txt part of the script. Before I call the kix script, I run aefdisk /allsize and smbios /g 01 > smbios.txt. I took all those out of the batch file and it still does not let me append a file on the lan. I have 1 boot disk that does and 1 that does not. That one that does not is the one I updated with the said files. _________________________ You have at least 2 choices. Each choice changes your destiny. Choose wisely!
