HI Guys,

I am using pausing in an HTA. I have a sleep function setup and I also have a setinterval function setup for pausing the HTA. Both have disadvantages. If I could get around the disadvanage of either one, I don't really care which one I use. In the first code block I am using a function called "sleep" to pause the script, problem is it doesn't work...it runs the sub and then goes to the next line of code before its done the sub. In the second code block, I am using the setinterval command, which does work. Problem is I have to create a sub to run more code each time a want to pause the script, and there is going to be alot of times I want to pause the script. Id rather have one function that I can use repeatedly than creating a new sub for each time I want to pause the script. Any ideas's?

Wouldn't you want this line to finish first?

objShell.Run("%comspec% /C c:\psexec.exe \\" & strMachine & " netsh interface ip show config >>" & outputfile)

i.e.
objShell.Run "%comspec% /C c:\psexec.exe \\" & strMachine & " netsh interface ip show config >>" & outputfile, 0, True

If the only reason for the sleep is to wait long enough to read the output file created...that should take care of it.

Desired result is

PROCESS LINE objShell.Run("%comspec% /C c:\psexec.exe \\" & strMachine & " netsh interface ip show config >>" & outputfile)
PROCESS LINE Sleep()
PROCESS LINE AFTER PREVIOUS LINE WORK IS COMPLETE Set objExec = objShell.Exec("c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe " & outputfile)

What I want to do is write some data to a text file and then open the text file. As it is right now, the text file is opening before the data is written to the file. Thus I want to start the process of writing the data, then add a sleep of set amount of time, then open the text file.

The fix to the problem was adding the "0 , True" to Line "objShell.Run"%COMSPEC% /c ping -n 15 127.0.0.1>nul" in sub "Sleep" So the script doesn't continue until that run command if finished. Thanks for the tip DM

just as a side note....when I use that sleep sub..I see no change in CPU Utilization at all.
