Here's what I'm trying to do:

$Names="Name1,Name2,Name3"
$Name=
While $Name <> ""
SendMessage($Name,"Test")
$Name=
Loop

Any idea what the code after $Name= should be? I know it has been done before, but I can't remember where I saw it, and I don't know how to detect a , in a string and the length to this , etc... ?

You using KiXtart Version 3.63 or Version 4.00 (2001/RC3) ?

Well, there are probaly a few different ways to do this, but it really helps if one adds a "sentinal" to the end of the list ... helps with parsing quite a bit, here's an example:

code:

---

break on

$names="Name1,Name2,Name3"

$names = $names + ","

while instr($names,",")

 $name = substr($names,1,instr($names,",")-1)

 ? 'NET SEND $NAME "HI THERE!"' ; fake a message

 $names = substr($names,instr($names,",")+1,len($names))

loop

exit

Thanks for the help! Just tested it, and it works fine, now all I've got left is to try and figure out a way to force a shutdown or logoff without the possibility of the user cancelling it... (But that's another topic)

Thanks again!

:OS95REBOOT
RUN "RUNDLL32.EXE SHELL.DLL,RestartDialog"
SENDKEYS ({ENTER})
:finish

Thanks!

code:

---

Cls
At (3,3) "Your computer will shut down automatically"
Sleep 3
Cls
Run "Rundll32.exe SHELL.DLL,RestartDialog"
SENDKEYS ({ENTER})
Exit

On Win95 OSR2.5 I get an illegal operation if Rundll is called (even if I do it using Start-Run), and on the Win98 1st edition I get a window telling me I have to close this program first, and then it gives me a choice to have windows do it, or cancel the operation and continue working in Windows...

What I could do, is put the reboot/logoff command in the RunOnce. (RUNDLL32.EXE user.exe,ExitWindows)

But, in order to do this, I need to know for sure if the policy files (config.pol) are read before or after the logon script runs, because of the synchronised execution of the logon script.. In other words, explorer should not start until after the logon script.. Anyone?

Does the ExitWindows API call work on both 95 and 98? All my Wintendos are clones so my code works for me. I had better results with RestartDialog than ExitWindows.

Just tested it, but it won't work...Rundll crashes if I do the following:

The batch file starts the script:

code:

---

	$y=Open(1,"c:\End.chk",5)
	$y=WriteLine(1,"Reboot")
	$y=Close(1)
	Break on
	RUN "RUNDLL32.EXE SHELL.DLL,RestartDialog"
	SENDKEYS ({ENTER})

---

Any ideas?
