I checked out the new manual, and noticed you say it is supported to write "wpi.hta School" and also "wpi.hta School 20" for the timer, that is not true. However, i revised the code a third time and now that all seems to work (could you please verify that for me): <script language="javascript"> var params = oApp.commandLine.split(" "); var wpiparam=params[params.length - 2]; var timeparams = oApp.commandLine.split(" "); var wpitimeparam=timeparams[timeparams.length - 1]; if (wpitimeparam!='') { load_checks = params[params.length -1]; } if (wpiparam!='' && (wpitimeparam!='' && wpitimeparam.length < 4)) { load_checks = params[params.length - 2]; timer = 'on'; secs = timeparams[params.length - 1]; } </script>

Ok, i'll admit i'm not very good with javascript stuff, but here's another go at it. The secs parameter is now limited to 3 digits (however, when triggering "wpi.hta School 120" the timer does not list 2:00 instead it says 0:120 do not know why, maybe should limit it to 2 digits you decide). Anyway, the code: <script language="javascript"> var params = oApp.commandLine.split(" "); var wpiparam=params[params.length - 2]; var timeparams = oApp.commandLine.split(" "); var wpitimeparam=timeparams[timeparams.length - 1]; if (wpiparam!='' && (wpitimeparam!='' && wpitimeparam.length < 4)) { load_checks = params[params.length - 2]; timer = 'on'; secs = timeparams[params.length - 1]; } </script>

This should do the trick, with this code you can type in "wpi.hta School 20" and it will select School and set timer to 20 seconds: <script language="javascript"> var params = oApp.commandLine.split(" "); var wpiparam=params[params.length - 2]; var timeparams = oApp.commandLine.split(" "); var wpitimeparam=timeparams[timeparams.length - 1]; if( wpiparam!='',wpitimeparam!='' ) { load_checks = params[params.length - 2]; timer = 'on'; secs = timeparams[params.length - 1]; } </script>

Keep in mind, it is case-sensitive, it has to be typed in exactly as it is written in the configuration files. Maybe it can be done so it is not case-sensitive

yes, correct

I have 9 different configurations, i've tested so far with 5 of them and it worked flawlessly. I do not see any problems with using parameter. I added the parameter code, right after the timers.js and before the handleerrors script. When looking at wpi.hta (from version 4.3.5) i added the code at line 111 I'm using WPI for network install here at work and am very happy with it, thanks to your hard work kelsenellenelvian!

Nicely done, i implemented the code to my WPI and works great. But what if i would like to trigger the installation automatically with parameter, can that be done? i.e. i type in commandline "wpi.hta school install" and then wpi checks school and automagically triggers install action?? EDIT: Figured it out: <script language="javascript"> var params = oApp.commandLine.split(" "); var wpiparam=params[params.length - 1]; if( wpiparam!='' ) { load_checks = params[params.length - 1]; timer = 'on'; secs = '5'; } </script>

EDIT: Sorry was a bit too quick, found this post, http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=50910, with a working solution, since i then can assign a temporary variable SWPATH in the registry whatever value i want. Thanks
