TBOS in IFL line 1 error

[tas3086]

I downloaded the trial version of IFL to see if the scripts that I have created in IFD will work in IFL. Unfortunately when executing the .TBS script under TBOS, I get a line 1 is invalid error.

Is the scripting compatible between IFL and IFD ? Or, is the IFL trial version limited in some scripting way?

p.s. My system was corrupted today by my error. IFD restore corrected the situation quickly. Thank you for a great product. Your restores have never failed me. Your competition despite error free completion and validation, failed to restore more than 50% of the time.

You need the full version to run TBS scripts. If you have purchased IFD, you should be able to download the full version of IFL. The scripts are compatible, but there may be a few things that need tweaked in the script depending on which OS it's being run from (DOS, Windows, Linux).

[TeraByte Support]

you're going to have to be more specific. TBOS is an OS, and TBCMD is
different than TBOSDT. TBOSDT can run the .tbs scripts from
dos/linux/windows (there are some commands that are windows only, but noted
in the manual). TBOSDT should be able to run any tbcmd script but, tbcmd
may not run tbosdt based .tbs scripts where you're using EXT() items.

I am a BootIT BM owner, so I have IDF and TBOS deployment, and Scripting.
I have created scripts that work fine using the IFD boot disk and dos processes and want to see if they will work using IFL as well. (Scripts are on the scripting forum).
- I downloaded the trial version of IFL
- Used makedisk to create a bootable pen drive
- booted the pen drive
- cancelled the IMAGE window
- Using the mount icon function, I mounted the pen drive as .... /mnt1
- clicked on the TBOSDT icon at the top of the screen.
- did a cd to ... / mnt1
- typed "run ifdimg2.tbs"
received the following error:
"Aborted due to error processing command in line 1. Script Failed (13)"

The first line of the script is: sub main()

What am I doing wrong.

if you're using an old version of TBOSDT then you must use "runtbs" and not
just "run".

The error you are getting is because the version of tbosdt included in the trial version of IFL does not support running TBS scripts. For that, you would need the full (registered) version of IFL. That contains tbosdt professional, which supports running TBS scripts.

I have TeraByte OS Deployment Tool Suite Pro for BootIt, (English), V1.43a as part of BootitBM. Can I use that within linux to test the script out?
I'd really like to test the script before I contimplate purchase.
Thanks again for a great product.

Yes, that contains the "Professional for BootIt" version of tbosdt, and it will run TBS scripts. You may have to run the command 'chmod +x tbosdt' to make tbosdt executable, before it will run from Linux.

[TeraByte Support]

why don't you send your script.

Saw the script on the Scripting forum. You need to adjust it to:
- use "imagel" instead of "IMAGE.EXE"
- use "-" and "--" instead of "/" for the switches when executing imagel (use one "-" for switch of only one char, and two "--" for others switches)
- change the path for the log file.
