#40139 - 2003-05-14 05:10 PM ARG - Can KixTart do this - Extensive Copy Routine
Les DeFoor Les DeFoor Just in Town Registered: 2003-05-14 Posts: 4 Loc: Salem, OR	[Moderator (Sealeopard): Moved thread form 'Scripts' to 'Starters' forum due to lack of script in body] Hi, I don't have a script to post as I am not sure which way to go with this... I am not sure if Kix can do this, I am sure it can, BUT - I don't know how to even start. Delima - I have a program that when I update, I have to copy an entire directory to EACH user's home directory after the install. While I only have about 52 users, this still takes a better part of an hour to do. The updates come in about twice a week, so, there I stand, at the server copying a folder to EACH user profile twice a week - REDUNDANT! My users don't change very often so a script would make sense. What I need to do: Copy an entire folder (with sub folders) to EACH USER PROFILE. My path looks like: c:\User Share Folder\JoeD and the folder below that is like 02, so c:\User Share Folder\JoeD\02 needs to be copied to all of the c:\User Share Folder\%USERNAME% EVERYTHING in that folder needs to be replaced and it does ask to over right several times so a quiet mode would be excellent... ANY assistance would be appreciated. Thanks... OH, I am currently using Kix V4.0 [ 14. May 2003, 17:15: Message edited by: sealeopard ]

The robocopy call could be either placed in a KiXtart script loop for each user ID. Or you could use a CMD file and use the FOR command to loop of a list or directories. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Then loop through the folders, potentially delete the original files and copy the new files. Will require KiXtart 4.21 RC2 or higher to take advantage of recursive COPY command. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Well, I have downloaded the latest version of Kix and well - you have guessed it - IGNORANCE runs rampant If I use the DIRLIST() and pull in a list of the directiories (my user names), then how the heck do I do all the other stuff I looked through what UDF's were and didn't see a corilation? I am sorry - I am totally lost.
