C. Softsmith Use TeleShare/WAIT to setup file transfers between systems at specified times, such as overnight updates and backups. Execution example... WAIT 11 AM <-Causes batch file to WAIT until 11:00 AM WAIT NOON <-Causes batch file to WAIT until NOON WAIT 11:59 PM <-Causes batch file to WAIT until 11:59 PM WAIT MIDNIGHT <-Causes batch file to WAIT until MIDNIGHT WAIT 7:30PM -S <-activates the screen saving feature. Notes: Seconds are not used, nor are they generally useful. If file transfer depended on overly exact timing, the internal clocks in any two machines would probably defeat the effort. Its a good idea to check the dates and times on the transfer computers while setting up transfers. And periodically check again with repeating setups. Supply either AM, PM, NOON or MIDNIGHT in the time entry. There are no built in assumptions or defaults so you will get an error if you don't specify accurately. The COLON is necessary if you specify MINUTES. When TeleShare/WAIT is started with a valid time, the screen will clear and the progress of the scheduled WAIT will be displayed until the specified time. Press ESC to cancel the WAIT from the keyboard. BATCH FILE execution will resume. Stop the batch file ( if desired ) with a normal CTRL-BREAK. ( CTRL-C ). Example valid time entries: 9:00AM 9:00 AM 9AM = Morning 7:00PM 7:00 PM 7PM = Afternoon/Evening 12:00NOON 12:00 NOON NOON = Noon 12:00MIDNIGHT 12:00 MID MIDNIGHT = Midnight SUPPORT and the ASP For technical support, either call (604) 433-5189, or write to Suite 606 - 6455 Willingdon Avenue, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5H 4E4.
