Unix Commands-Execute Script / Batch Files
I am trying to run Unix commands in Console mode. When I run the command as a stand alone command in my Unix console the command runs fine. When put the command into an Execute Script/Batch File action I get trailing dots while the command finishes executing. The longer it takes to execute the command the more trailing dots I receive across my console. For example, if I run a command to install JBoss I get a console display of "Installing JBoss.......................................". The "Installing JBoss" is by design but the trailing dots are not. When I run the same install JBoss on a command line outside of IA2011 I do not get the trailing dots. I am using the AIX Build Target. How do i make the trailing dots go away? I command that runs for an hour returns a console display of nothing but trailing dots.

Does the command successfully execute or not when you run it from within IA?

Yes - the command executes as expected. Some of our routines can run for several hours between steps so the end user only see's these modding progress dots filling their screens.

I think that this is an IA feature showing that the script is still running, so I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about it.

Is there away to slow the refresh rate down? Looks about 2 dots per second currently.

I don't think so, you could ask the Flexera Software support.
