I have two scripts, a logon.cmd script and a logoff.cmd script. both run and work when used manually.
When added to the MMC console they both run. The logoff script works a treat, no problem, but however the logon script starts OK but fails to complete. Wait.exe is a simple MSDos executable that waits a number of seconds before continueing, this gives a little time for commands to complete before moving on (you can't upload a text file that hasn't been created yet!
############ Code in logon Script begins ############
C:
cd \registration
echo online>onlinestatus.txt
wait 3
ftp -s:logon.txt
wait 3
del onlinestatus.txt
exit
############ Code in logon Script Ends ############
This logon script gets as far as successfully loging into the FTP server in the ftp script but fails to upload the very simple text file. IP Address & login User info changed! The script doesn't log out from the ftp server either.
############ logon.txt contains the code ############
open XX.XX.XX.XX
UserName
PassWord
ascii
put onlinestatus.txt
bye
############ logon.txt contains the code ############
On shutdown the same ftp script runs and completes successfully.
Any thoughts and ideas as to what may be going wrong much appreciated.
Problem resolved in an unsatisfactory way by adding the logon script into the Startup Folder. Not what i wanted but at least it works and does its Job.
