#64379 - 2002-04-09 11:59 PM Error codes
Chris Bingel Chris Bingel Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-04-09 Posts: 22 Loc: Baltimore, MD	OK, I'm confuzzled. Here is the offending snippet: code: :TIME SETTIME "CONSTELLATION" IF @error <> 0 GOTO WRITEERROR ENDIF ... :WRITEERROR IF OPEN(1,"C:\kixtart.log",5) = 0 WRITELINE(1,@USERID + CHR(9) + @DATE + CHR(9) + @TIME + CHR(9) + @LSERVER + CHR(9) + $err + CHR(9) + @serror + CHR(13) + CHR(10)) ELSE BEEP MESSAGEBOX("Errors running logon script and unable to open log file.","WARNING!",0+48+0+0,10) ENDIF The problem is that the writeerror piece is outputting a return code of 0. What between the SETTIME and WRITELINE is generating a new @ERROR, and how do I get around it? [ 10 April 2002, 00:04: Message edited by: Chris Bingel ]

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	yep - been there too my friend. The trick is to save-away the return status into a kixtart variable, lile $ERROR and $SERROR, eg: :TIME SETTIME "CONSTELLATION" IF @error <> 0 $ERROR = @ERROR $SERROR = @SERROR GOTO WRITEERROR ENDIF ... :WRITEERROR IF OPEN(1,"C:\kixtart.log",5) = 0 WRITELINE(1,@USERID + CHR(9) + @DATE + CHR(9) + @TIME + CHR(9) + @LSERVER + CHR(9) + $err + CHR(9) + $serror + CHR(13) + CHR(10)) ELSE BEEP MESSAGEBOX("Errors running logon script and unable to open log file.","WARNING!",0+48+0+0,10) ENDIF -Shawn [ 10 April 2002, 00:17: Message edited by: Shawn ]

Here's my Interpretation off your offending snippet:

code:

 :TIME
SETTIME "CONSTELLATION"

	IF @error <> 0
                $err = @error    ;<--- you missed this
                $serr = @serror  ;<--- I added this
		GOTO WRITEERROR
	ENDIF

...

:WRITEERROR

IF OPEN(1,"C:\kixtart.log",5) = 0
	WRITELINE(1,@USERID + CHR(9) + @DATE + CHR(9) + @TIME + CHR(9) + @LSERVER + CHR(9) + $err + CHR(9) + $serr + CHR(13) + CHR(10)) ;<--- replaced @serror with $serr
ELSE
	BEEP
	MESSAGEBOX("Errors running logon script and unable to open log file.","WARNING!",0+48+0+0,10)
ENDIF

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Guess I know what kixtartlog will contain after you changed your code like we suggested : "5 Access denied" 'Normal' users aren't allowed to change system time by default seems to be the most likely reason for failing settime commands right ?

Both WriteLine() and MessageBox() are functions that return a value. If you don't care about the return value then supress the code using a variable assignment otherwise it will appear on the console, i.e. code: $Nul=WriteLine(... and code: $Nul=MessageBox(...

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	... ok, to clarify the wrong error level finally : open() resets it in your case J. _________________________

Curiouser and curiouser...

made the suggested change, and now the code breaks at a new point:

code:

:LOGONBANNER
WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","LegalNoticeCaption","Legal Notice","REG_DWORD")
	
	IF @error <> 0
		$error = @error
		$serror = @serror
		GOTO WRITEERROR
	ENDIF

...


:WRITEERROR

IF OPEN(1,"C:\kixtart.log",5) = 0
	WRITELINE(1,@USERID + CHR(9) + @DATE + CHR(9) + @TIME + CHR(9) + @LSERVER + CHR(9) + $err + CHR(9) + @serror + CHR(13) + CHR(10))
ELSE
	BEEP
	MESSAGEBOX("Errors running logon script and unable to open log file.","WARNING!",0+48+0+0,10)
ENDIF

And this outputs to c:\kixtart.txt:

code:

tester	2002/04/10	10:36:07	\\CON-BALT-PDC01		The operation completed successfully.

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Think you might want to fix-up that line: WRITELINE(1,@USERID + CHR(9) + @DATE + CHR(9) + @TIME + CHR(9) + @LSERVER + CHR(9) + $err + CHR(9) + @serror + CHR(13) + CHR(10)) to: WRITELINE(1,@USERID + CHR(9) + @DATE + CHR(9) + @TIME + CHR(9) + @LSERVER + CHR(9) + $error + CHR(9) + $serror + CHR(13) + CHR(10)) -Shawn

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Chris , I don't think so ! The script is probably is just running through to :WRITEERROR because you don't exit it before ? I guess this because there is no $err in your output _________________________

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	... or was it $error ? Think you have to decide which to use J. _________________________
