HAP Logon Tracker Logoff Script Issue

[TomClay]

Hi Nick (and co)

I have tried on and off to get the logon tracker working. In testing it is excellent I am forced to use the logon and logoff scripts.

 

This is my current logoff.cmd code:

start /min "Logon Tracker" "c:\windows\syswow64\hap logon tracker.exe" https://server/hap/ , /silent
exit

 

If I run the cmd manually the logoff is marked in the tracker no problem. If it is run during the logoff scripts process it is like windows closes the exe before it has finished its work. To remedy this I have tried installing the exe as a service which runs even if windows it shutting down, however similarly to running the exe it doesnt always have the desired effect at logoff.

 

This seems like a silly problem, something easily remedied, but I am starting to think it might have me beat. Is there something i'm missing or possibly a way i can run what the exe does via a script as opposed to using the exe?

 

In testing it is such a good piece of software and I really would like to make use of it. Limiting the logons will be handy and being able to find out who logged in when will rule out some of the petty vandalism issues and such like.

 

Thanks,

Tom

I don't know how much it will help but here is my script:

 

"c:\windows\syswow64\HAP Logon Tracker.exe" https://remote.domain.co.uk/HAP/

 

I dont use the silent switch, have you tried without it?

Can you try the version posted here: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/home-access-plus/121183-two-issues-current-logon-tracker.html#post1255494

 

It has a fix for the silent switch

Hi Nick,

 

That was me you posted it too and thats the version I have rolled out.

It works to use the logoff script as Fairm suggested, so I just don't use the silent switch at logoff.

So it is silent at logon, which minimizes the box to the bottom left and pops up in the case of multiple logon accounts. Then at logoff it runs without the silent switch, which still minimizes it in the bottom left.

 

Is this the expected behaviour?

 

Thanks,

Tom

Yes, that should be how it works, it should really be hidden

[TomClay]

It currently shows a title bar only at logon and logoff which is ok. Totally invisible would be better but this is fine.

 

Thanks,

Tom

ok, I'll look into it, it should be hidden
