Run or RunWait

[Briandr]

Would Run as opposed to RunWait be better for this?

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c net localgroup administrators /ADD " & @LogonDomain & "\PCSupport" ,"",@SW_HIDE)
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c net localgroup administrators /ADD " & @LogonDomain & "\svcs_ricoh" ,"",@SW_HIDE)

First line executes correctly second one not so much. From the help file it says RunWait runs and executes. Should I do just Run?

Thanks

Not sure why Run() would solve anything here.

What is the issue with the second line?

just not executing, but is odd and I think the problem it is executing in (Dell Kace). Outside of the environment it works fine. So I too thought RunWait should be fine too.Just looking at other possible ways to tame this.

My question is have you tried it? You're asking if you should use Run or RunWait; I daresay trying it for yourself would take you less time than posting here. Then, if it doesn't work, we can try to assist you in finding out why.

Come on give me a break. I am always appreciative of the help I get here. I did try it, both ways. Please give me some credit. I am not a jerk on the forums

Using the close session switch, the only difference between the two, I'd imagine, is that if you want to interact with the stdout/in/err, you'd use the Run() scenario, if you're launching and moving on to another part of your script, you'd use the Run() scenario, if you need to wait for the comspec to end before you do something else, you'd use the RunWait() scenario.

Edit:

I just want to iterate, this is my interpretation (and a stab in the dark at helping), I don't play across networks so it may be moot even posting here.

Should I do just Run?

 

My point was that you're being unclear by asking "Should I do just Run", rather than saying "I've tried both ways, and neither is working"

That said, I would change your /c to /k, so you can view the command line window and potentially see why it is failing.
