JohnGruhn Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Is is possible to run a program at the end of the copy phase of dos mode? I am using unattneded installs and want to run different cmdlines.bat files in each config. Running them from the same directory would be nice, but they currently run into a race condition so I thought of putting down a file to lock the current config. At the end of the copy phase I want to unlock this so the next user can begin their loadout and be sure they get the config they selected. Ideas?

JohnGruhn Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 I work in a large office. As such, I build ghost images for each section on a regular basis. Each of these sections has an unattended install with multiple configurations. These are started by running a batch script with the desired install. I would like to be able to do two or more runs at a time over the network from a common source and block others from changing the current config while the client downrange is reading it. I basicly want to make a semaphore using a file to avoid a race condition. I thought about copying over the cmdlines.txt portion at the end, but it still leaves me with copying a file after the "default" config gets to the machine. I probably have to copy the files beforehand, make the changes, then start the install, but I want to see if there is another way to do it.
