Launching tasks simultaneously

Hello,

I am using Procomm 4.8.71 on Windows 2000.

Is it possible to launch several tasks simultaneously and if it is, how?

Thanks.
 
Hello,

I want to launch simultaneously some Procomm scripts.

Using Procomm scripts, I want to communicate simultaneously with 6 machines by telnet.
Sometimes, it fails. An error window is displayed and indicates a memory access error.
When the scripts are launched, the script that ends first stops the others...

Regards
 
The result is the same with the updated pwtelnet.dlc file (on my PC the date of this file is 21/12/1999)

The error window is (traduced from french)

PW5.exe software error

The instruction at "0x...." uses the "0x00000000" memory address

The memory can't be "written"
 
Does the error message pop up when the script is run immediately or at some point later in the process? How many windows can you have open before the error appears?

How are you launching the scripts? Manually opening multiple windows and then running the script, running different command lines, etc.?

 
I launch the scripts (.wax files) by the windows scheduler.

The problem occurs even if I launch the scripts sequantially, that means :

script1.wax T0

script2.wax T0 + 1 mn

script3.wax T0 + 2 mn

script4.wax T0 + 3 mn

script5.wax T0 + 4 mn

script6.wax T0 + 5 mn

The error can appear with the 3th window, the 4th window, the 5th ....

I think Procomm isn't intended to run some scripts simultaneously
 
Does the script from each command line have a unique name (I'm thinking so, just want to verify?). Are the scripts nearly identical in contents? If not, can you launch some of the later scripts in the sequence without crashing?


 
The scripts are nearly identical in contents but have a unique name (CG1.wax, CG2.wax ...)
 
If the latter scripts don't crash when run individually, my guess would be there is something "odd" that ASPECT is not handling well. I think I have an updated ASPECT DLL at home (don't recall what was fixed in it offhand) that I can try posting and see if that takes care of the problem, probably a long shot.
