Here is the way I use CRON and STUFFKEY =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ( very messy , if you know a better way then let me know , Please ) sys:etc\crontab:- ================= # file to call the StuffKey keyboard program and run clnolog.sky # placed here by Josh to clear the Not-logged-ins #Min Hr Dat Mo Day Command 00 * * * 1-5 load stuffkey sys:etc\clnotlog.sky /d=250 20 * * * 1-5 load stuffkey sys:etc\clnotlog.sky /d=250 40 * * * 1-5 load stuffkey sys:etc\clnotlog.sky /d=250 # Clean out the Student Home dirs. 30 4 * * 1-5 load stuffkey sys:etc\clnstud.sky /d=250 --------------------------------------------------------------------- sys:etc\clnotlog.sky:- ====================== # Load Monitor and clear Not-Logged-Ins #-------------------------------------------- # Start at the console screen and load monitor load monitor # Wait for the monitor screen to be created and make it current # Go to Conections screen con # set to Name order and goto last Not-Logged-in to see it happen n # Press F6 to clear not-logged-ins # Exit Monitor Y cls time ------------------------------- sys:etc\clnstud.sky:- ====================== # Load ToolBox and Delete Contence of Home Student dirs #------------------------------------------------------ load toolbox.nlm # Wait for the Toolbox to load sys:etc\\clnstud.ncf unload toolbox.nlm cls time ------------------------------- sys:etc\clnstud.ncf:- ( part of ) ===================== del sys:student\home\17901\*.* /syq del sys:student\home\17902\*.* /syq del sys:student\home\17903\*.* /syq del sys:student\home\17904\*.* /syq del sys:student\home\17905\*.* /syq To make this file is easy than you think: ========================================= a) do a dir of sys:student\home\*. > homedir.txt b) open home.txt in MS Excel as Text with space Delimited c) now you have the different info in columns d) delete the not required colums so you just have one column left eg:- 17901 17902 etc... e) insert a column infront of the Dir names f) type: "del sys:student\home\" in the top cell and fill it down to the end g) type \*.* /syq in A3 and fill down with that h) Save it as "," delimited ( still .txt ) i) you should have:- "del sys:student\home\,17901,\*.* /syq j) use any dos editor and find and replace:- replace "," with "" Looks like a big job but is better than changing the last few digets in a 450 line long text file. ---=== *!* Warning *!* ===--- the Toolbox DEL command in this format will delete any file or subdir No Matter how you try and Flag it ( DIRI , RO it goes !!!!! ) Thats why I could not do a deltree syle from the root of Home\ Enjoy , Josh
