Re: [wpkg-users] running wpkgclient on schedule?
I have configured wpkgclient to launch at shutdown - and it's working nice. Now I need a way to run wpkg on schedule, ie.: each day at 6 am. Could it be done with wpkgclient or should I write my own script to do that? First option seems nicer because I have proper share with proper credentials mapped.

Here is what we use:
--8---cut here---start-8---
?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?
packages
package
id='wpkg-at'
name='Run WPKG at a time'
revision='1'
reboot='false'
priority='100'
variable name='ATTIME' value='12:30 /every:l,ma,me,j,v'/
variable name='ATCMD' value='sc start wpkgservice'/
check type='execute' path='%ComSpec% /c at | find %ATCMD% NUL'/
install cmd='at %ATTIME% %ATCMD%/
remove cmd='at | %SOFTWARE%\gnu\gawk.exe /%ATCMD%/ { system(\at \ $1
\ /delete\) }'/
upgrade cmd='at | %SOFTWARE%\gnu\gawk.exe /%ATCMD%/ { system(\at \ $1
\ /delete\) }'/
upgrade cmd='at %ATTIME% %ATCMD%'/
/package
/packages
--8---cut here---end---8---
This requires gawk.exe.
NB: commands with pipes need to be start in a shell (%ComSpec%).
Regards.

Re: [wpkg-users] running wpkgclient on schedule?
How about shutting down the machine from a scheduled task, which should trigger WPKG at shutdown? not good. Server must be running all the time. cheers --- Grzegorz Marszałek I did not mean to reboot the server, but the clients. --- Stefan - wpkg-users mailing list archives http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ ___ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
