Trigger script hangs up

Grundy

Hi all,
We're running TeamSite 5.0.2 on Windows NT 4.0. We're using a trigger script called by iwatpub.ipl to perform some maintenance functions whenever a user publishes on certain branches. We use Windows' SrvAny tool run iwatpub as a service so that the trigger is re-established automatically after reboots.

Lately I've been trying to make our script work with iwat.exe instead so that we don't have to have that extra service running, and here I'm hitting a snag. The trigger script opens a pipe to the iwupdate clt (using the "-f -" switch) and feeds it a series of source vpaths to be copied. If I have the script called by iwatpub, the iwupdate process terminates when the pipe is closed as expected. However, when I set up the trigger with iwat, iwupdate does not terminate and thus the script cannot finish properly.

Anybody know why this happens and/or how to fix it?

Thanks,
Nutt

Could you perhaps post (as an attachment) the script you are running with iwat?
