Hi

I need to reset the xsi workgroup on our w2k render farm machines quickly.
I'm using xsi -w <workgroup dir>

But unfortunately I must manually hit the 'Enter Key' before workgroups is
properly set on the machine.

Why must I hit the 'Enter Key'? I want to script this operation so I don't
have to login into every machine to hit ENTER.

I've had a look but there seems to be no switch to turn this off.

I've tried doing xsibatch -w <work group dir> to avoid the 'Enter Key'. But
this does not set workgroups even though it says it has. A bug?

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

Cheers

Harvey
