KBI 310547 New Feature: Argent AT Maintenance and Startup Scripts

Version

Argent AT 3.1A-1307-A or above

Date

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

Summary

The Argent XT feature of maintenance and startup scripts have been re-introduced into Argent AT products.

Technical Background

When the Argent AT Supervising Engine starts, it looks for, and runs a batch file named {PRODUCT_PREFIX}_AUTOEXEC.BAT, if the file is present at the home directory.

A similar batch file, {PRODUCT_PREFIX}_MAINTENANCE.BAT, runs at a fixed interval.

The Registry ‘HKLM\SOFTWARE\Argent\{PRODUCT}\MAINT_SCRIPT_INTERVAL’ controls the interval of {PRODUCT_PREFIX}_MAINTENANCE.BAT.

The maintenance script won’t be executed if the script file does not exist, or if the registry value is 0.

The minimum non-zero registry value is 600 (10 minutes). Maximum is 86400 (1 day).

Resolution

Upgrade to Argent AT 3.1A-1307 or above
