this sounds like the continue option has been turned off for some reason.
Try using a -continue option on the xsibatch command line. Although I'm not
sure why this is happening, it should be off by default It certainly never
does it for me, that I remember.

Subject: Set the Workgroup from command line without the 'Enter Key' promt

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
