If the purpose is to shorten the time it take the login script to run, you could just use START to spawn another CMD session so your login script would continue to run. start net use Q: \\server\share -----Original Message----- From: Minero Hector B DLVA [mailto:MineroHB@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 2:58 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: net use command I do't think timeout does what I want, which is to try to connect to a share within a specific time period, say 5 seconds. If it cannot connect within 5 seconds, just quit and go to the next line. timeout 5 net use Q: \\server\share will not do the job.

We're auto-mapping a drive to a share on a samba server, but the samba server sometimes hangs; therefore making the logon script take longer to execute. Any workaround? I'm using the command: net use Q: \\server1\share Thanks, _________________________________ Hector Minero NSWCDD Code K55 Ph: (540)653-8859 Fax:(540)653-8575 *********************************************** Visit Jim Kenzig of thethin.net at the Emergent Online Booth #26 at Citrix Iforum 2002!
