Command line parameters?I have a boot floppy for booting my computer to connect to the network so I can run Ghost and image my machine. I wrote a little batch file called logoff.bat for loging off the network when I'm finished. Logoff.bat contains: @net stop When it runs it prompts me for three different responses: Stopping the NETBEUI service also stops these services: REQUESTER Do you want to continue this operation? (Y/N) [Y]: You are currently logged on as Me. Do you want to log off? (Y/N) [N]: Continuing will cancel these connections: G: \\myserver\myshare Do you want to continue this operation? (Y/N) [N]: I answer Y to all three of these and it logs me out. Question is, is there a way to pass these key strokes through so I don't have to hit them? I know, just being lazy. But I would like to do this, will save me some time. I tried: a:\logoff Y Y Y a:\logoff < logoff.txt Where logoff.txt contains: Y Y Y Neither worked. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance, Linn

Any other suggestions? actual console. You could try running your batch file as a scheduled task to see if NET will assume what you want. Most likely, however, I'd expect it to just hang. Alternately, you could script the actions you want performed, and write your script to interact in whatever way makes sense. What is it that you want to have happen after the logoff? If you are going to reboot anyway, you could simply modify your .bat file to execute one of the availalble "reboot" utilities. /Al

I always prefer to logout of a system once I have logged in, just seems the proper way to interact with systems. It's not that big of a deal and I don't actually use this more than a few times a year, just thought it would be nice to not to have to be bothered by it.

If you are manually logging out from this session, the new image is not yet activated. If you have booted from a floppy, the only sense in which you are "logged in" is that you have established connections with network resources such as file shares. From that point of view, I suspect you are the only entity involved that sees a difference between logging out and simply terminating share connections. I'm pretty sure it's all the same to the servers and your network. And the instance of the O/S installed on the workstation is a non-issue, as it has not been booted. Or perhaps your environment is radically different from mine. /Al

Since you use this facility rarely, it would probably take me more time to work out an answer than it takes you to respond to the chain of prompts over a couple of years . . . I therefore won't persist.
