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.

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 ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
