I don't know what can and can't be attached to these mailing lists so let me
know if you don't get the attachments.
There are 3 attachments, each are BAT files renamed to TXT files.
LOGIT.txt (this is the batch file that does the logging)
DOIT.txt (a hand edited DOIT batch to show how LOGIT might be used,
install.pl would need to be edited to generate the code)
MAPZNRUN.txt (again, a hand edit MAPZNRUN to show how LOGIT might be used,
install.pl would also need to be edited to generate the code)
I suppose the same could be done for POSTINST.BAT, however, it appears it's
just running some small things, like installing perl, setting up users in
the local administrators group and then setting up todo.pl. At least this
is one step closer to being able to find where something might fail before
todo.pl starts running.
Just in case the attached files don't make it through the mailing list, here
is the contents of LOGIT.BAT Hopefully it doesn't word wrap to badly. Each
command should be on one line and I've added an extra, empty line between
each line, so only the comments should have 2 lines right next to each
other.
:: ======== BEGIN LOGIT.BAT ========
:: Requires just 1 parameter, the message to log. However, it does assume
:: the directory netinst always exists and is named netinst
::
:: Example: logit.bat "SUCCESS: Something worked as expected."
