Many users running an exe via NW Login script WS hook

[ocarles]

In my Netware 5 login script I ran the next a batch file:

@f:\apps\tngsw\am_login.bat

That execute an exe.
All it seems well until many users try to execute the batch file. (say up to 100)
If I execute in one or five ws at the same time, it works well.
WS appear to hook, and the startup process of the WS become very slow (not hang). It seems like the nw clients wait each other to finish the batch file

Thank for you help

I hate using batch files in scripts. Why don't you take the commands out of the batch file and put them into the login script directly.

And better yet, understand that you probably don't need them anyway, or their might be a better way to do what you're doing.

This is what the batch file execute.
As you see, the exe files are umcliw95, umcliwnt.
The only way that I find to do this is via batch file.
Any suggestion?

Regards

Look into ZENWorks. You should be able to get away with use ZENLite (if you can find it). It wik=ll do what you want with out using a BAT file.
