Hi Luziekix,

Here's what we do to check the machine status before applying any KiXtart scripts.

- Do a PING test of the machine and log the result to a text file.
- If the machine returns "Request timed out" message, consider the machine as OFF and move onto the next one.

A sample code would be :

code:
Break On
Shell "cmd.exe /c ping m/c_name -n 1 > result.txt"
  If Open(3,"result.txt",2) = 0
     $Readline_val = ReadLine(3)
     While @error = 0
	If $Readline_val = "Request timed out."
   	   ? "Machine not On. Skip to next m/c"
	   Del ("Result.txt")
	EndIf
     $Readline_val = ReadLine(3)
     Loop
     $ = Close(3)
     Del ("Result.txt")
  EndIf
