A Script To Delete A Caertain Folder At Log Off

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

There is a program that someone runs and the cache (40mb) is stored in the users profile, so when the user logs off it uploads this rather large file to the server (Roaming Profiles).

 

How do i make a script so the folder is deleted before the transfer to the server is starts please?

 

Thanks

Log off script ?

Or a script which launches the program instead of the normal exe, loops round until the process is closed, when its closed [ the condition is met ] delete the files.

You could use AutoITs ProcessExists function, then the FileDelete.

Just a script that will delete a folder at log off.

Save this as a batch script and add as a logoff script in a GPO...

 

@echo off
echo Deleting cache...
if exist  rd  /S /Q

 

The above may need some revising. It's always hard to remember dos commands when you're on a linux box

Would Wine help ?

And a shot of Smirnoff.....

 

Funny thing logoff scripts - I have never had the need to apply one. I am searching the cobwebs of my brain trying to think of how our network / setup would need one. There must be a need somewhere !!! I want to use one now....

Use the %username% in batch or the @UserName marco in AutoIT.
