#37035 - 2003-02-27 09:34 AM Fast check if the workstation (PC) is turned on
Luziekix Luziekix Getting the hang of it Registered: 2003-02-27 Posts: 68	Hi! With the following Script-Line I would like to disable the Internet-Connections on school-PC from the Teacher-PC: $Err=WriteValue("\\BBS-GER701\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-57989841-1202660629-1060284298-2727\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings","ProxyEnable","0","REG_DWORD") .... for each Student-PC with different PC-name and different USER-SID. This works OK an fast, if all PCs are turned on. But if some of the PCs are turned off it takes about 30 Seconds for my scripts to go on to the next PC to make the setting. Can someone help me out and have an idea on how to FAST check if the stundent-PC is turned on, so I could only try to do this settings then. Regards, Luziekix

onlinrgames onlinrgames Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-23 Posts: 27	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 Regards Onlinegames

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	condensed line from ping() If you don't like to use a user defined function : break on $a = "nb2jpzz1","Foo" ;replace with an array of valid machine names for each $m in $a shell '%Comspec% /C ping $m -n 2 \| find /C "TTL=" > nul' if not @error $m + " is online" ? ; replace with your action else $m + " appears to be offline" ? endif next get $ As 'TTL=' is the only valid search pattern for online machines ... hth Jochen _________________________

Luziekix Luziekix Getting the hang of it Registered: 2003-02-27 Posts: 68	Well thank you all for your fast help !!! I now use this: (Sample in german, if someone need it in english, please request it from me!) Break On $PCON=1 Shell "cmd.exe /c ping BBS-GER701 -n 1 > C:\TEMP\result.txt" If Open(3,"C:\TEMP\result.txt",2) = 0 $Readline_val = ReadLine(3) While @error = 0 If $Readline_val = "Zeitberschreitung der Anforderung." $PCON=0 Del ("C:\TEMP\Result.txt") EndIf $Readline_val = ReadLine(3) Loop $ = Close(3) Del ("C:\TEMP\Result.txt") If $PCON=0 AT (1,0) "BBS-GER701: PC ist ausgeschaltet oder nicht am Netz!" ELSE $Err=WriteValue("\\BBS-GER701\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-57989841-1202660629-1060284298-2727\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings","ProxyEnable","1","REG_DWORD") If $Err=0 AT (1,0) "BBS-GER701: Internet EIN-geschaltet. IE dort schliessen / neu öffnen!" ELSE AT (1,0) "BBS-GER701: FEHLER: User nicht eingeloggt ?!" ENDIF Endif EndIf Regards; Luzie

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Would then try and map to ipc$ ... if fails the remote isn't that reachable to edit registry Luzie, wenn du magst können wir das auch offline diskutieren ... mail genügt Jochen _________________________

However, it would be the clean approach. Pseudo code: code: IF NOT PING ; try sending a Wake-On-LAN command ; PING again until computer resonds or timeout is reached IF NOT timeout-is-reached IF CONNECT-TO-IPC ; do whatever you need to do ENDIF ENDIF ENDIF This approach has been implemented in the server script of the KiXtart Systems Management Server. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Yap, all of my admin scripts to act on Remote Servers work this way ... except maybe the Wake-On-Lan command which isn't an option since it is deactivated (The Servers are supposed to Run 24/7/364.25) [ 27.
