How Can I kill wscript process?? 2

[vivis]

Hello all!, I have a script running on a Windows 2000 Server that check a changing file on a remote server. I use the "cron" service to run my script every 2 minutes, The problem is that when the script doesn't find the file or can't access to the share the script hung, after 2 minutes the "cron" run again the script and start another 'wscript' process, so after 1 hr I have a lot of 'wscript' processes and the server's cpu load go to 100%. Is there a way to end the script after 1 minute of inactivity?? This script is very important, Please help me!!!!
Thanks in advanced!!!

check into the command

wscript.timeout =

whatever number you put behind the = defines how many seconds the script will run. If it is not finished at that point, the script stops

Hello vivis,

When you specify the command line, add time option to it.

cscript scriptname.extension [COLOR=blue]//T:120[/color] [arguments]

Time out T:nn is in unit of sec the permitted time the script is allowed to run.
