Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Some (most) apps set error codes that can be used in a script. It all depends on how the external app returns the error codes and how it wants the parameters (-parameter, /parameter, \parameter, etc...) some extra info would be nice. The error code can be taken from @error, the username can be taken from @userid, logoff if error can be done by LogOff() and the external app (and let the script wait until the app exits) can be done by Shell. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Untested. Code: $line = "%compspec% /c c:\someapp.exe /" + @userid Shell $line If @error <> 0 ?"External app returned an error." ?@ERROR Sleep 5 LogOff(1) Else ;do other script stuff here. EndIf _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.
