can't the output from isainfo be saved to the c:\isainfo dir instead of
the isa dir.

Hi Joseph,

The problem with that technique is that all you get is an instance of
the  scripting engine.  What's needed is information about the script
it's running.

Unfortunately, WMI can't tell your what script is running within the
engine process, so my scripts could very well fail to run if another
unrelated script is operating.

Hi there,
I disagree.  You can do effect monitoring of running instances of
wscript.exe.
So, if you add something like this to the start of your scripts then you
can effectively monitor and close out running the  script again.
However, it dosen't work so well if you have tons of wscript.echo
commands running during the processing and while you answer those start
the script again when the last wscript.echo was hit.

Option Explicit

Stop
On error Resume Next

Dim gstrUser,gstrDomain, gwshShell, gstrUserName, gLocal, gLocalService,
gobjProcessList, gProcess, lRetValue,  gProgram

Set oArgs =WScript.Arguments
set gLocal = createObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set gwshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

gProgram = "wscript.exe" 'needs to be lower case the system "proc.name"
sends it this way.

ggstrUserName = gwshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%Username%")
gLocal.security_.impersonationLevel = 3 'impersonate

set gLocalService = gLocal.connectServer(".","root\cimv2")
set gobjProcessList = gLocalService.ExecQuery("Select * from
Win32_Process")

for each gProcess in gobjProcessList
 lRetValue = gProcess.GetOwner(gstrUser,gstrDomain)

 If gProcess.name = gProgram then
      MsgBox gProgram & " Is already running you cannot open another
instance ",vbexclamation,"Warning"
      WScript.quit
 End If

NEXT

Thank you,

Joseph

I thought about something like that, but it creates a potential "race"
condition where the file might not yet be created when a later script
runs.
This could actually cause both scripts to fail, leaving you even more
confused...
Plus, depending on how the scripts fail, the file may not get cleaned up
and
the system becomes more cluttered.

VB Scripting has some really bad error handling, but I use it because
it's
easier for most folks to read...

Ah Sweet. :)

One possibility to detect if the script it already running, would be to
create a temporary file at the beginning of the script, then remove it
at
the end of the script, and use a check to see if it exists before
continuing
within the script. :)  (not sure if that is possible, but an idea at
least.
:) )

heh, Tho i guess i should just be a little more careful with my
keypresses.
:)

Actually, you do have a valid bug, just not the one you think...

You get popup-after-popup when you run them because:
1. the default scripting engine in Windows is WScript (popups for every
message)
2. not everyone knows (how) to change the default scripting engine to
CScript (console output).

Unfortunately, there's no way for a script to know if there is more than
one
instance of itself (HTA does, though).
Fortunately, the fix is to make the script(s) aware of the scripting
engine
that ran them and adjust accordingly.

That's a completely brain-dead change (ISAInfo does it already) that you
can
look for by this weekend.
Thanks for the bug report!

.in the meantime, open a cmd window and type:
    cscript //h:cscript

.now all scripts will run as console apps, not windows.

Hi All,

I can't remember whom it was that developed the virus blocking scripts
on
ISATools.org, however i have a suggestion.

Would it be possible to have the script stop it from running again if it
has
already been started.  As i was running the MyDoom
script which creates quite a few Protocol Rules, unfortunately i got a
tad
carried away with hitting the enter key to all the
prompts that appear, and somehow managed to get it to run several copies
of
the script at the same time. :)  (Yep i'm a dumbass)

Anyways, just thought this idea would improve the script if the author
can
be bothered. :)

Cheers

Surago Jones
