John John Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-09-27 Posts: 38 Loc: Canada	Is there a way to test to see if Kix32 is still running or completed.. Trying to run local script but only after the network kix32 logon script has completed.. thx John

If this local script got kicked-off by the login script, then we probably wouldn't be having this discussion (nothing to detect). My guess is that his login script sets up an RUN or RUNONCE script, or maybe it starts from the startup folder ? And because his login scripts are asynch, he needs a way to "sync" them up ? I'm thinking maybe registry cookies here ? File cookies ? Maybe scanning for processes ? Couple ways I guess.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well, I'm with ya. say, if he has the logonscript running on kixtart, he can rely on stuff like @pid. just need to wait for his answer... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	the basic question is still unanswered, is the logonscript running on kix? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	in english, if it is, we will do as much as we can. and if it isn't, we can translate it to kix for ya. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

John John Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-09-27 Posts: 38 Loc: Canada	Yes, the logon script is written in Kix.. The local kix script runs a ipconfig /release and /renew but since they are not in sync it kicks the network script off.. thx John

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	While it is possible to RunLogonScriptSync, I presume there is some reason you don't want to. You could have the logon script write its PID to the registry at the beginning of the script and remove it as the last step. Your RUN key script could then check the reg in a loop for the PID and compare it with what is enum'd as a loop breaker. This is a belt and suspenders approach since the logon script should remove the reg value but you don't want to let the RUN script goet into a never ending loop. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.
