#25980 - 2002-07-26 07:28 PM YAMD Function Help!
KIXKicks KIXKicks Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-07-26 Posts: 177 Loc: Vancouver, WA	Here is part of the code of the YAMD Function. code: :WAITFORREG ; ******* Wait for windows to create the reg keys $RC=READVALUE("$LABELKEY\$DRIVELETTER\_LABELFROMREG","CACHE") IF @ERROR OR $RC="" OR $TIMEOUT<5 $TIMEOUT=$TIMEOUT+1 SLEEP(1) GOTO WAITFORREG ENDIF My question is if the _LABELFROMREG key does not exist, the script seems to loop forever. Any suggestions?

It checked the registry and the key does not exist. I am running KIXtart 4.10 on Windows 2000 SP2. Also if I close it, it logs me off of the computer...which makes it hard to debug. I tried the debug switch but it does not help. Arnold

I think there is little brain syntax error... [ 27 July 2002, 00:18: Message edited by: Lonkero ] _________________________ ! download KiXnet

KIXKicks KIXKicks Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-07-26 Posts: 177 Loc: Vancouver, WA	I print a PRINT TO CONSOLE command in there and the $TIMEOUT value is increasing...but it goes right past 5 and never stop... Lonkero, I will try your suggestion and let you know... Thanks, Arnold

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	arnold, like I said, there is little problem in that part of script. it waits until 5 seconds has passed. and it also waits that all other things are good. so that's why there is is the infinite loop. that my and stuff is not the ultimate solution but it can get it to stop after the 5 sec timeout. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

KIXKicks KIXKicks Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-07-26 Posts: 177 Loc: Vancouver, WA	Lonkero, Your suggestion worked. I also lowered the timeout to 3 seconds (5 seems too long). Especially the more drives that are mapped. A couple of side questions: 1. Why doesn't the UDF Forum contain the YAMD Function and other functions that I see in other posts?...I thought it was supposed to be a library of scripts. 2. Is there any way to distinguish MS Office XP from MS Office XP SP1 and from patched versions of Word & Excel? 3. Is there any way to check the Virus Signatures of Norton Antivirus 7.6 CE client on Windows 2000 and compare it against a Windows 2000 Server running the same software (but Server instead of Client) and then update it if necessary using KIXtart? I want this to make sure our VPN users have the latest virus signatures. 4. I wonder if the KIXtart GODS (the experts) could write a KIXtart Script Checker which would check against things like missing ENDIF, ENDFUNCTION, etc...maybe there is already such a thing... Thanks to everyone for their help, Arnold [ 27 July 2002, 00:52: Message edited by: KIXKicks ]

But it is there, see http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000163 You might need to adjust the 'Show Topics from Last xxx Days' to see posts that are older than what you have currently selected. quote: 2. Is there any way to distinguish MS Office XP from MS Office XP SP1 and from patched versions of Word & Excel? Yes, you can check the product version numbers of the executables. Or you can use an administrative install and advertise updates to the administrative install (more complicated to set up). quote: 3.

I want this to make sure our VPN users have the latest virus signatures. Isn't that part of the CE version, that you can force AV updates? I beloeve there's a batch file with the CE distribution that does this. Otherwise, search this BBS for posts about NAV CE, there are a couple. quote: 4. I wonder if the KIXtart GODS (the experts) could write a KIXtart Script Checker which would check against things like missing ENDIF, ENDFUNCTION, etc...maybe there is already such a thing... And this one does exist, too. just take a look at pretty much any of MCA's posts who uses this extensively.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	a quickie for the first question: they all are there. it's not board for scripts but for functions that are user defined (not built into kixtart) you probably wont see them for two reasons: your menubox of showing topics does not include old udf's the pages are many. for gettting some udf out from udf library you can try searching it. YAMD can be searched by the selections: YAMD search only title search any date search udf-forum cheers _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Not that I have a wireless one, but that would definitely be a nice feature in order to keep up this strenuous posting race. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	that's not a problem. all I need to do, is to determine what objects can be called to get the stuff from net... if it's not supporting kix, then I would need to know how well it supports TCL (I still hate perl)... not so many stuff needed for version 1 functionality. for version II it would be some months work. {edit} btw, have you any idea how to reduce the firewall security when you are drunk? I made the main config in such way that all not mentioned exceptions are denyed, including ping... just can't get my bloody web server open to world!

Kicks, The reg loc "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion" holds a valuename "UsingPattern" that holds the data. The parent server has the same reg valuename. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

I don't know what to do next... will keep on trying, that's for sure. still, time 04:20 and someone said that it's good to go bed before the clock turns 00:00... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

That should be enough time to open a firewall (have you tried a prybar?).

It is preferential to check the reg for the path than hard-code it. Also, check out my script Topic: NAV Pattern FTP Script RFC to get more frequent pattern updates to your server. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

KIXKicks KIXKicks Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-07-26 Posts: 177 Loc: Vancouver, WA	Everyone thanks for the help with all of the posts... Lonkero, While your change does fix the problem I was having with the script hanging. It seems to have disabled the part where the script changes the registry to relabel the network drives. This was the key reason I was using this function. Also when is XP supposed to be added? If you are not the right person to be asking forgive me, and please direct me to them.
