Re: Can you create a timed loop?

Walter,
Suggestion 1 is not the case as I am actually testing this with 3 mappings
to a server that has just been decommed but the DNS entries have not been
cleaned up.
It calls the mapping function 3 times, and I have debugging code to show
when it is called and when it finishes timing out.
I tried the second suggestion, and got the same results. It is not
terminating the attempt to map the network drive early.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
-Chris

Suggestion #1:
There's a very slight possibility that the script had already terminated
after it issued the call to MapNetworkDrive without an error, since that was
the last command. In that case, WScript.Timeout would be meaningless. To
test this, you can try adding a do-nothing line at the end, something like
WScript.Sleep 1, to ensure that the script continues to run.
Suggestion #2:
If the above doesn't work, then you may need to do something like this:
TheTime = Now
Set Exec = oShell.Exec(cscript //nologo
C:\Temp-LocalWorking\2006_08_09\CALLED-AbortMappingEarly.vbs " & Drive & " "
& Mapping)
While Exec.Status = 0 Or DateDiff("s",TheTime,Now) < 10
WScript.Sleep 50
Wend
If Exec.Status = 0 Then Exec.Terminate
If neither one of these approaches work, then it's probably a problem for
the networking gurus around here to tackle.
