yakk0dotorgIn the face of monotinous work due to stupid design decisions I laugh and innovate. :) I (and a few of my students) were going to have to sit in a lab today opening Netscape, browsing to a website, closing Netscape when the students in orientation are through, reopening Netscape, and browsing to the site again. All this because there isn't a "logout" button.
This is just stupid, so I wrote the following batch file:
---
:10
start /WAIT C:\Progra~1\Netscape\Communicator\Program\netscape.exe -browser http://iam.memphis.edu
goto 10
---
What this does is sets a label, starts Netscape at the destination website and waits until Netscape closes. When Netscape closes it goes back to the label. Now I can have students going around and closing Netscape and it'll restart itself. w00t.
