If the machine is an NT box then you could get the script to write an entry into HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce, to call itself with a command argument of say 'myscript -stage2'.

Hi All, I'm creating a perl script to automate a certain installation process. The machine needs to be re-booted midway... (after completion of a certain part). The problem is, how do i resume the execution of my script after the re-boot ?? i need to do some more stuff after the re-boot, but i'm unable to think of a way to handle the re-starts. can i set a flag some-where, which can be probed by the script and the then decide it's path of execution ?? hope i'm not too vague in putting up the query. cheers, savinder. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
