#152151 - 2005-11-23 09:15 PM Silly Question, but you guys will know
Aaron Perrault Aaron Perrault Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-08-29 Posts: 27 Loc: Emeryville, CA	OK guys, I know that you will be able to help me in a heart beat. What is the equivelant command to DOS's old ECHO OFF command? In the login script that we were working on the other day, (the one with shell 'net stop "Automatic Updates"', since I am displaying a pretty box with login info etc, that line and a couple others are displaying in the box, and making it look less pretty (my users like pretty). I want those lines of code to run, but I dont need to see the results on the screen. Any ideas? This is what I have, but I KNOW that it doesnt work. ECHO OFF If Exist ("%wiwndir%\system32\pskill.exe") Display ("File Exists") Else Copy @ldrive+\files\pskill.exe ("%windir%\system32") ; Run ("%windir%\system32\pskill.exe wauclt") Shell 'net stop "Automatic Updates"' Shell 'net start "Automatic Updates"' Run ("%windir%\system32\wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow") SetTime "@lserver" Thanks guys, app

Sometimes you can bin the output by redirecting it to the bit-bucket: Code: Shell '"'+%COMSPEC%+'" /C net stop "Automatic Updates" >NUL: 2>NUL:'

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Service = Automatic Updates (name = wuauserv) Process = wuauclt When the Automatic Updates service is stopped wuauclt is also stopped. When the service is started again the wuauclt process shows up when the first detection is starting, not directly when starting the service.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Yep. When the process is killed it will just spawn again when a detection is needed. When you stop the service the process is stopped and detections are also stopped so the process will not restart when you do not want it to. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Aaron Perrault Aaron Perrault Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-08-29 Posts: 27 Loc: Emeryville, CA	Hey guys, thanks for all the info. I knew that the two were connected, but not that directly. I will definetly remove the PSKill from the script, and just use the net stop command. I hope everyone had a good weekend. Now on to the Christmas Holidays, yippee, yippee!! (Dripping with sarcasm if it didnt come across!!) thanks again app
