Guest Kevin Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Hi, I'm having some weird issue: I have to make lotus notes to start automatically from some netlogon .bat script. so I call c:\lotus\notes\notes.exe in my script, it'll do stuff and then will call nlnotes.exe and terminate itself; this is ok, but as soon as my netlogon script comes to its end, nlnotes.exe is terminated as well. what I've tried so far: call notepad.exe after notes.exe: lotus is "automatically" closed after I exit notepad call notes.exe from some vbs script: no changes notepad.exe seems to suspend the processing of the bat file until it's closed When i use the notepad.exe trick and check some things with "process explorer" i find that nlnotes.exe has no know parents (that's normal i guess, because it's launched from notes.exe which is already terminated) I do not see any "connection" between nlnotes.exe and the netlogon script, but it keeps on closing itself every time I can't directly launch nlnotes.exe because notes.exe does stuff before it starts nlnotes.exe ( http://xrl.us/7syb ) I'd like to launch that notes.exe thing detached from everything else. Thanks in advance!! -- Kev

Guest alfmm Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Re: notes.exe closes itself when launched from netlogon script Hello, why don´t you use C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup to start notes. Then notes is invoked on startup after any user has logged in. ( Maybe you should set the rights in a restrictive way on this dir to prevent the "common" user to change things there ) A more compatible way to write the path is %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\startup greets alf maier "Kevin" wrote: > thanks for your answer alf, but it didn't help > i'd be glad to try every other ideas you may have > >
