Greetings, Sorry for my “no information post” earlier J Anyhow here is some actual information: To use the Boot Manager here is what you do. First, put a copy of BootMgr.exe in the same directory as
your project file (script). Optionally you can put a shortcut to this instance
of the Bootmanager in your startup directory – bootmanager can launch your script if desired. Or you can
have your script Shell the instance of bootmanager. Run the BootManager and set the
configuration settings (pretty self explanatory when you open it) Once running, Bootmanager is “listening”
for your script to execute the command - RebootUpdate. If it “hears” the message, it resets its counter
(the value set for Automatic Reboot after). If it doesn’t hear any
messages for the specified interval, it reboots the machine, and performs the
specified login / start programs / scripts. Therefore your script should execute RebootUpdate
after every successful “transaction” or if it is listening /
watching for something, it should execute RebootUpdate
on an interval. Rebooting is obviously a pretty dramatic way to fix a
problem J - other
techniques would be to use Timeouts to detect “the unknown”, a good
reset routine that can find it’s way home – and if need be killing
the process of the application you are connected to (there’s an example
in our script library that can do this). Please give support a call if you have any implementation
questions – and once again, I apologize to the group for my “non
informational post” earlier. Regards, Thom Thom C. Blackwell Product Manager (866) 653-5105 ex 807 www.bossoft.com LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is
