I updated the diff to current CVS. ftp://www.hansonsystems.com/unattended/MakeUnattendedScriptsaBitQuieterB yDefault.diff
Example output before and after applying the patch is attached. -Jeff > Subject: Quieter Scripts, and improvements to mapznrun.bat > > wget ftp://www.hansonsystems.com/unattended/MakeUnattendedScriptsaBitQuieterB yDefault.diff > wget ftp://www.hansonsystems.com/unattended/justinstallapps.bat > > I modified all the base scripts to be a bit quieter by default. The batch scripts should have to > echo almost nothing to the screen because todo.pl announces what it is about to execute AND gives > status if it returns a non-0 error code. With this patch my unattended scripts look much nicer :) > > I also have been working on automated application installs using a batch script on machines that > have never seen unattended before. Read: no c:\netinst directory, therefore no authentication > files, no Z_ variables, etc. Rather then depending on outside scripts to setup things correctly > (error prone) I decided to construct a separate script to setup the appropriate variables, Z_PATH > and Z, map a drive using current user credentials, install perl and fire off the todo.pl script. > It is a work in progress and most definitely needs work but it does work, I just don't like hard > coding all the todo items in there, but its no worse then what postinst.bat does. > > I usually run justinstallapps.bat from the start menu -> run -> > "\\servername\sharename\justinstallapps.bat" > > Comments encouraged.... > Flame away :) > > -Jeff
