Timeout_Seconds

I have as part of my action script the following

override wait
    runas=currentuser
    timeout_seconds=1260 
    disposition=abandon
    hidden=true
    wait "C:\Staging\Bin\BigFix\Tasks\Delayed\DelayedExit.bat"

When it hits the 20 minute mark it exits the task with a timeout reached. I very much want it to continue with the task even if it times out. Is there some logic that will move this forward. Developer.bigfix.com doesn’t have any information about it.

Do you just want the action to continue to wait indefinitely? You don’t have to use the timeout_seconds parameter (or set it to 0), which will avoid the timeout behavior entirely.

The DelayedExit.bat file attempts to close the application once it returns to the home screen. We need it to attempt this for 20 minutes before we force close the application. I need task to continue once it has timed out so the forced close part of the action will occur

@jessee_t what are you trying to accomplish?

If you have a Actionscript and part of your logic is to wait and then continue to the rest of the Actionscript

You can use the following instead of the bat file

parameter “TimeToWaitFromNow” = “{now + (1260 * second)}”
pause while {(now < parameter “TimeToWaitFromNow” as time)}
