Batch file logging issue

[Venomz1337]

Hi all,

 

I can't quite figure out why when people run my batch it sometimes doesn't produce a log file.

 

My only view on this is that multiple people might be running it at the same time. Would this cause issues and if possible, how can I fix this?

 

Appreciate any help.

 

Below is the code for the batch file.

 

Spoiler

@ECHO OFF
if /I "%COMPUTERNAME:~0,6%"=="xxx" (goto :citrix) ELSE (goto :B)

:B
SET MyProcess=cmd.exe
@ECHO OFF 
TASKLIST | FINDSTR /I "cwin32.exe" >nul 2>&1
@ECHO OFF
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (GOTO :StartScripts) ELSE (ECHO Caseware is currently open. Press any key once Caseware is CLOSED.)
Timeout /T 120
GOTO :B 

:StartScripts 
ECHO Installing... During this time, take a moment to think of your lovely IT department.
CALL "xxx\xxx.bat"
ECHO %username% %time% %date% %computername% > "log\%username%.txt"
cls
ECHO Install finished. Have a lovely day!
echo.
color 0A
ECHO IT Dept
echo.
PAUSE
GOTO EOF

:citrix
color 0B
@ECHO OFF
cls
color 0A
ECHO This installation will not run in Citrix. To proceed, please close Citrix and run again.
echo.
echo.
pause
goto eof

 

 

Thanks.

maybe the user does not have write access to the directory?

It's hit and miss. I've had users which it logged fine but others it didn't seem to log. 

 

I'm also starting to think it's an issue beyond cmd.
