normally and the status is updated on Hobbit.

Are you seeing any errors in the event logs?  One thing you may have to do is put a bat file wrapper (like termusers.bat) that calls the command instead of the perl command directly.  I thought this was no longer needed.  Etienne may have some better insight as to why BBWin doesn't want to run it as is.

There are no errors in the event log. However, I created termusers.bat
files and stored it in c:\Program Files\BBWin\ext but the issue is still

Hi,

 
The setting is commented out in the config file!

Change the file to read:

 <load value="termusers.bat" />

If this is cut and past, you still have invalid xml with the launch examples line:

<! externals launch examples

also, for the bat file, try using the following:

<externals>
 <setting name="timer" value="3m" />
 <setting name="logstimer" value="60s" />
<load value="cmd /c ..\ext\termusers.bat" />

Hi,

The setting is commented out in the config file!
(This is the start)<!-- <load value="memory.exe" />
 <load value="termusers.bat" />
 <load value="cscript wlbs.vbs" timer="15m" />

Change the file to read:

There are no errors in the event log. However, I created termusers.bat files and stored it in c:\Program Files\BBWin\ext but the issue is still present...

Are you seeing any errors in the event logs?  One thing you may have to do is put a bat file wrapper (like termusers.bat) that calls the command instead of the perl command directly.  I thought this was no longer needed.  Etienne may have some better insight as to why BBWin doesn't want to run it as is.
