str1der str1der Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-10-07 Posts: 33 Loc: Cincinnati	Does an environemt variable get passed to a kix script. For instance if I set a variable in a batch file that then calls a kix script can the variable be referred to in the script? Thanks.

You say "from the batch file we use to launch a citrix session" If this batch file is at the client and the script is running on the server, never the two shall meet. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

str1der str1der Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-10-07 Posts: 33 Loc: Cincinnati	I'm not the Citrix guy so maybe I didn't state that correctly. First they logon to the network (running full script), then they launch a citrix session. When they launch the citrix session a variable gets set. (MF=TRUE). If MF=TRUE in the script it exits before a lot of garbage is run again. Also what would be the exact syntax for the IF statment in KIX. Would it be something like this? If %MF% = "TRUE" EXIT ENDIF
