Checking winset variable in login script

[GillB]

Hi Guys
I call a dos batchfile from my netware loginscript which removes all incidences of NAI AV software from my users pcs (Win 9x\NT). The netware loginscript then contains the necessary commands to install the NAV AV software.

My problem - once the old software has been removed, the pc is forced to reboot, but before that happens the netware script finishes, ie the NAV install is started.

I need a way to check for variables set in the batchfile (using winset) in the netware script, to jump past the NAV install if the pc needs to reboot. The pcs must reboot before the new installation takes place or things muck up...

Is there a way to check variables from a netware login script?

Thanks...
Gill

You should be able to check for any variable that is set prior to the login script running. I'm don't know much about winset but we check for operational conditions through our login scripts all the time. The question is when is the variable getting set? That will determine if you can detect it with the login script or not. At this point I would need a little more information but I'm sure it can be done......
