Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

AutoExec

AutoExec (AutoExec.exe) automates operations such as pausing, launching processes, or signaling, and is configured through the AutoExec data file (AutoExec.dat). This script file must be in the same directory as the program itself.

Note: Intermec considers the usage of the AutoExec data file as “Intermec Private.” AutoExec installs Intermec applications such as Data Collection, Security Supplicants, Intermec Management, applets, and shortcuts from components found in the Flash File System. Do not modify the AutoExec data file. Instead, use the AutoRun program to add software components.

Usage:

AutoExec [-%[W]] [-E=["X"]] [-F=["Y"]] [-LOG=] [-W=[Z]]

-% Passes an ID to use in a call to SignalStarted. This argument is useful only during system startup that relies on a SignalStarted to call. W is an integer value.

-E Passes a signal event name to use when autoexec completes. X is a string value.

-F Overrides data file to use. Must be a fully qualified name. Default is “autoexec.dat” in same location as AutoExec.exe program. Y is string value.

-LOG Set to any value logs activity to AutoExec.txt (in the same location as the AutoExec.exe program). Default is disabled.

-W Pauses the autoexec process by calling sleep for the number of seconds specified by Z. Z is an integer value.

Process return code uses standard error codes defined in WinError.h.

Keywords that AutoExec supports are:

QUIET	Enables user notification when an error occurs.
LOGGING	Enables logging to a trace file.
SIGNAL	Enables the specified named event and is immediately signaled. Useful for
	notifying other components of the current status.
CALL	Processes another .dat file. When called file is complete, file is resumed.
RUN	Runs a program with a SW_SHOWNORMAL attribute. Autoexec does not
	wait for the child process to exit.
LOAD	Runs a program with a SW_HIDE attribute. Autoexec waits for 60 seconds
	for the child process to exit or EXECWAIT seconds if set.
EXEC	Runs the specified program. AutoExec waits 60 seconds for the child
	process to exit or EXECWAIT seconds if set.
EXECWAIT	Changes the default EXEC wait time from 60 seconds to the number of
	seconds specified. There is a maximum 10-minute limit imposed.
WAIT	Forces a sleep for the specified number of seconds to occur.
WAITFOR	Forces a sleep until the named event is signaled.

Examples of keyword usage are as follows:

;Allow message pop up if an error occurs.

QUIET 0

;Log any debug output to a trace file.

LOGGING 1
