#129874 - 2004-11-18 06:02 PM IF statement to check the hostname
mattl72 mattl72 Lurker Registered: 2004-11-18 Posts: 2	Hi, I'm new to kixtart but I think what I'm trying to do should be pretty easy. Basically, I just want to check to see if a hostname or NETBIOS name matches (there's actually 3 computers I need to check for), and if so - do nothing, but run an executable for everyone else. I'm guessing it will look something like this: If HOSTNAME = workstation1 or workstation2 or workstation3 Do nothing ELSE Run executable ENDIF I'm not sure what the syntax is though. Also, how do I launch an executable from within the script? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Code: BREAK ON IF @WKSTA <> "Jooel" AND @WKSTA <> "Shawn" AND @WKSTA <> "Ron" ?"run something..." ENDIF EXIT 0 If your planning on having many workstations in this list, or if you plan on changing the list going-forward, could suggest other more gracefull ways of doing this. -Shawn

Code: Dim $ComputerList $ComputerList = Split("Jooel\|Shawn\|Ron","\|") If AScan ($ComputerList, @WKSTA)>=0 ;Do nothing Else SHELL '%COMSPEC% /C "IPCONFIG /registerdns" >NUL 2>NUL' EndIf

Couldn't find a half dozen more functions to add to the soup? $ComputerList = 'Jooel','Shawn','Ron','Les' _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	ja, but because your excluding hostnames and because it involves multiple conditions, I would suggest that a SELECT statement would be over-kill and not pratical anyways ... it would end-up just looking like the IF state above anyways, with more lines of un-necessary code ... like this: Code: SELECT CASE @WKSTA <> "Jooel" AND @WKSTA <> "Shawn" AND @WKSTA <> "Ron" ; do something CASE 1 ; do nothing ENDSELECT You can't break each case out into its own case statement, because you need to check for all three hostnames at once. Anyways, if this is just a quick-hitter thing would suggest you stick with the above or DOC's code. -Shawn
