Script syntex

[Max]

I'm trying to insert a line into the 'hosts' file from the
login script that runs from the server when a user log's
in. How can I accomplish that?

 

[nut cracker]

what if the line is already there? do you still want it to put the new line
in there?

one way would be:

echo "10.10.10.10
somehost.network.com">>%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts *

* noteAssuming the path to hosts is correct on EVERY machine.....

because the >> tells it to append to the end of the file.

Checking for the presense of the line would go like this (syntax not
accurate)

if (hosts | find /c /i "10.10.10.10") = 0 then
echo "10.10.10.10 somehost.network.com"
else
next

or something....

I can show you how to do it with perl, but you probably want it done in
batch. Cant really help with that.

Yeh I am looking to do it in a batch, thank you anyways.

try asking in the .public.win2000.cmdprompt.admin group... the wizards hang
out in there.
