Mounting volumes via script with time delay and programme start. 1

[stla]

(Elementary user)

We have a 2003 server that boots quicker than another server that is publishing shares.

The shares are 'mapped' to a letter on the 2003 server but on cold starting both machines, the shares are simply not ready to be mounted.

e.g. My_Server (G

Is it possible to make a script that will after a certain amount of time, will try and mount the shares again then start a programme?

AFTER BOOTING -> WAIT 2 MINUTES -> MOUNT VOLUME MAPPED TO G -> START THIS PROGRAMME

Best regards

open command prompt and do a "Call Wait /?" for options This allows you to call a batch file(logon script) after a period of time.

VB probably has a better way so I would check for that solution in our VB forum or Googleit

hope this helps

pulled some old school out of my head....Windows 2003 does not have that ability.

Try the Windows 2003 Resource Kit 'sleep' command
