Hi people,

I am have having truble with the following script:

code:
 shell '%comspec% /c T:\Local\GRCDrop\GRCDrop.exe'
? "Error: @error - @serror"
I get the following error:

Error: 8652320 - Error (317 / 13D) while retrieving error information for 840620

I can run the command from that location with no problem at all but it just won't run from the script.

The GRCDrop.exe command basically copies a file called Grc.dat located in the same directory to a specifed location, depending on the OS, on the hard drive to make Norton a managed client.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

Ju

Question:

You mean it wont run from the script at all (either during or if ran manually after login) or that it just wont run during login ?

Couple of thoughts come to mind..

Do you have the T: drive mapped on login? If so, is it established before this is executed?

Maybe tweaking the environment -
code:
shell '%comspec% ... other stuff
Change to -
code:
shell '%comspec% /C /E:512 ... other stuff
Spark up a CMD prompt and do a CMD /? to see what is there..

HTH,

Kent

Hi,

Shawn - It won't run from the logon script or running it manually.

kdyer - Yes the T:\ drive is mapped before this is executed. Ive also tried to copy the files to the local machine and modfy the script accordingly but I get the same msgs.

If I change the script to:

code:
 shell '%comspec% /C /E:512 C:\GRCDrop\GRCDrop.exe'
I get the msg:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Error: 1 - Incorrect function.

To be honest im at a loss here. The file definately exists in that directory. if i double click on it it works fine.

Ive looked at the CMD /? and can't really see anything in there that would help. Any ideas?

btw im doing this on a XP machine and its kix version 4.21.

Not sure if this helps but if I run it from a batch file it works OK. I suppose I could shell the batch file out but that seems very messy.

Julian,

What about setting up an environment space for this?
code:
RUN '%COMSPEC% /e:1024 /c T:\Local\GRCDrop\GRCDrop.exe'
?

OK. Here is the full code:

code:
shell '%comspec% /e:1024 /c T:\Local\GRCDrop\GRCDrop.exe'
? "Error: @error - @serror"
Like i say its a very simple script. It will go into the main script once working.

Running it like this i get the msg as before:
Error: 8652320 - Error (317 / 13D) while retrieving error information for 840620

However if i use run instead of shell i get:
Error: 0 - The operation completed successfully.

But it isnt successful.

so, what about:
code:
shell 'T:\Local\GRCDrop\GRCDrop.exe'
and if you have problem with it:
code:
shell 'start T:\Local\GRCDrop\GRCDrop.exe'

Unfortunately neither work. [Frown]

Shelling out just the command I get the Error (317 / 13D) as before.

Shelling with the start command tells me:
Error: 2 - The system cannot find the file specified.

Ive checked and doubled checked - the file is there.

One has to wonder if it is even operating correctly when run manually from a DOS prompt?

What if you CD to the directory first:

CD "T:\Local\GRCDrop"
shell '%comspec% /e:1024 /c T:\Local\GRCDrop\GRCDrop.exe'

Now then. If a change directory to T:\Local\GRCDrop and run the command from there it works OK. However if I run T:\Local\GRCDrop\GRCDrop.exe it don't.

I can change directory in KiX cant i?

This works now:

 cd "T:\Local\GRCDrop"
shell "GRCDrop.exe"
? "Error: @error - @serror"
