While you are making changes to appsonly.bat I'll point out a tiny patch to appsonly.bat we made in our environment. We wanted to call out to an external script prior to the invocation of todo.pl --go. The external script sets some machine environment variables. We've got quite a few custom scripts and wanted to set some convenience variables and have them accessible from all the scripts -- we decided that permanent machine environment variables was the easiest way to go.
Maybe some variation of this can be included in the patched version? Here's a diff. -bash-3.2$ diff sts_appsonly.bat appsonly.bat 146d145 < call %z%\scripts\sts_conf_set_environment_variables.bat Perhaps change the line to something like call %z%\site\custom_site_scripts_initialization.bat ?
