#38776 - 2003-04-04 10:10 AM Dos and Kixtart
cellnet cellnet Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-02-26 Posts: 115 Loc: Sweden	Hallo I have a couple of old PC that Im using as thin dos clients with the citrix client. I have 3 diffrent applications. Desktop, Internet Explorer and Movex. I have collected the mac address's in a txt file, that the client reads at boot. code: ? "My Macaddress = @address" ? ? IF Open(3, "t:\movex.txt") = 0 $x = ReadLine(3) WHILE @ERROR = 0 ? "Line read: [" + $x + "]" $x = ReadLine(3) IF $x = "@address" ?"Starting MOvex....." shell "t:\runapp.bat movex" Close (3) exit quit endif LOOP Close (3) ELSE BEEP ? "Config file not opened, error code: [" + @ERROR + "]" ENDIF exit It works. But how do I do if the client are supposed to start Desktop or IE. Regards \erik

That is, you restrict the usage of what the client runs. Look into the use of Policy Editor or GPO (Group Policy Objects). These are, of course, from Microsoft.

I would like kix to search the txt or ini file until it finds a match, and from that start the correct application. Ex [movex] 9q23829382 [Internet Explorer] 2343299 \erik

Check each string for "[movex]", etc. As you encounter each app, set a toggle so you know which list you found it in. Also I don't think the command "quit" is a kix2.33 command & I also think the command "exit" shuts down the current script right in the middle of your 2 if tests. Do you want to do this? _________________________ Jack

A update

Kixtart script first

code:

 ; Script begins
cls
COLOR w+/b
; Ta bort startbara filer
SHELL "a:\COMMAND.COM /C del a:\net\net.exe"
SHELL "a:\COMMAND.COM /C del a:\autoexec.bat >nul"

flushkb
? "My Macaddress =  @address" 
sleep 10

IF Open( 3 , "T:\movex.txt" )  = 0

$x = ReadLine( 3 )
WHILE @ERROR = 0
   IF $x = "@address"
   :movex
   ? "MacAddress Match, starting Movex"
   sleep 2
   run "t:\runapp.bat movex"
   exit
   quit
   ENDIF
   $x = ReadLine( 3 )
LOOP
ENDIF

:desktop
   ? "No Match, starting Desktop"
   run "t:\runapp.bat desktop"
   exit
   quit

:END

exit
quit

the "run..." sends variable to runapp.bat

code:

 @echo off
:START
cls
Echo Logging in to %1...
Echo.
@echo off
t:
cd wfclient
vsl >nul
t:\wfclient\wfclient.exe %1
goto START
:END

Jack, do you mean something like:
Content of movex.txt
*
movex00D0B768A5DB
ie03424331233
*

Please explain

\regards
erik

If your lookup file is in INI format as you outlined above, then I was thinking of something like this:

code:

; Script begins
cls
COLOR w+/b
; Ta bort startbara filer
SHELL "a:\COMMAND.COM /C del a:\net\net.exe"
SHELL "a:\COMMAND.COM /C del a:\autoexec.bat >nul"

flushkb
? "My Macaddress =  @address" 
sleep 10

IF Open( 3 , "T:\movex.ini" )  = 0
    $apps = ""
    $fnd = 0
    $x = ReadLine( 3 )
    WHILE (@ERROR = 0 and $fnd=0)
       If (INSTR( $x , "movex" )>0) 
            $apps="movex"
       Else
           If (INSTR( $x , "Internet Explorer" )>0) 
             $apps="IE"
           Else
               If (INSTR( $x , "Desktop" )>0) 
                 $apps="Desktop"
               Endif
           Endif
       Endif   
       IF $x = @address
            $fnd=1
       ENDIF
       $x = ReadLine( 3 )
    LOOP
    Close ( 3 )
    If ($apps="")
        ? "Error - Readings Apps file - No Apps Sections found"
    Else
        If ($fnd=0)
            ? "Error - Address not found in list"
        Endif
    Endif
Else
    ? "Error - App file not opened, error code : [" + @ERROR + "]"
ENDIF
If ($fnd>0 and $apps<>"")
   shell "t:\runapp.bat " + $apps
Endif
Exit

Please note, I haven't tested this script & I haven't used version 2.33 for a while so it could have some bugs.

Jack Lothian Jack Lothian MM club member Registered: 1999-10-22 Posts: 1169 Loc: Ottawa,Ontario, Canada	Your second post suggested the lookup file was INI like so I assumed this. My code assumes that an @address value will only occur once in the file & it will appear under 1 of 3 different lists. If these assumptions are incorrect the logic may need to be modified. I assume an INI file something like this: code: [movex] add1=value1 (i.e value1=0002A5BE048D0=an address) add2=value2 etc [Desktop] add1=value3 add2=value4 etc [Internet Explorer] add1=value5 add2=value6 etc All the "values" are assumpted to be unique. As written it does not have to be in exactly INI format. It just needs all the possible address divided into 3 lists headed by app name. Note: I assume that "movex", "Desktop", & "Internet Explorer" will only occur once in the file & they must be at the top of each address list. This seemed to be the format you initially proposed.
