Environment Space Limitations With SMS Inventory Scripts

MORE INFORMATION

If the necessary space is not available when the script is started, the script will attempt to create a new command shell with additional free space, and make another attempt to execute the script file (there are safeguards against extra recursion). This is accomplished by a command similar to:

   command /e:2048 /c %0\..\smsls.bat
				

This implementation works for all the operating systems that typically experience this problem (MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups, and Windows 95).

If the new command shell is needed, Out of Environment Space messages may be generated by the operating system; these are not errors. If SMSLS.BAT is called from within a logon script and this message occurs, it can be eliminated by calling SMSLS.BAT with a command similar to:

   call command /e:2048 /c %0\..\smsls.bat
