If this is cut and past, you still have invalid xml with the launch examples line:

<! externals launch examples

also, for the bat file, try using the following:

<externals>
 <setting name="timer" value="3m" />
 <setting name="logstimer" value="60s" />
<load value="cmd /c ..\ext\termusers.bat" />
 <!-- externals launch examples
<load value="cscript mybbscript.vbs" />
 <load value="memory.exe" />
 <load value="cscript wlbs.vbs" timer="15m" />
 <load value="cluster.exe" timer="90s" />
 -->
</externals>

Hi,

The setting is commented out in the config file!
(This is the start)(this is the end of the comment)

Change the file to read:
<externals>
 <setting name="timer" value="3m" />
 <setting name="logstimer" value="60s" />
 <load value="termusers.bat" />
 <! externals launch examples
 
</externals>

Hope it helps.. :-) I've done that a couple of times..

There are no errors in the event log. However, I created termusers.bat files and stored it in c:\Program Files\BBWin\ext but the issue is still present...

<externals>
 <setting name="timer" value="3m" />
 <setting name="logstimer" value="60s" />
 <! externals launch examples
 <!-- <load value="cscript mybbscript.vbs" />
 <!-- <load value="memory.exe" />
 <load value="termusers.bat" />
 <load value="cscript wlbs.vbs" timer="15m" />
 <load value="cluster.exe" timer="90s" /> -->
</externals>

Are you seeing any errors in the event logs?  One thing you may have to do is put a bat file wrapper (like termusers.bat) that calls the command instead of the perl command directly.  I thought this was no longer needed.  Etienne may have some better insight as to why BBWin doesn't want to run it as is.

Hi
i'm trying to use your termusers.pl external script but it seems that the script doesn't run automatically and on Hobbit the status is always in purple . if i run it manually from a command line the script run normally and the status is updated on Hobbit.

</svcs>
<uptime>
 <setting name="delay" value="30m" />
</uptime>
</configuration>

The script .pl is saved in c:\ntutils.
Any suggestions to fix the issue ?
Thanks
