I've got a vbs script that runs through a list of entries in a text
file and runs a subversion sync. My problem is that if I run the
commands called in my script on the command line, they execute
normally. However, if I run them in the script, they take forever to
execute. Can anyone spot why the scripted version takes so long?

The script should output the output from the commands back to the
user, along with a "." progress meter.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\subversion_backup
\repolist.conf", 1)
Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream
wscript.echo("Starting: " & repo )
repo = objTextFile.Readline
wscript.echo("C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin
\svnsync.exe init
http://url.com/" & repo & " http://DEV:8080/svn/" &
repo)
Set oWsc = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = oWsc.Exec("C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin
\svnsync.exe init http://url.com/" & repo & "
http://DEV:8080/svn/" & repo)
wscript.echo "Initialising..."
Do While oExec.Status <> 1
Wscript.sleep 10000
wscript.stdout.write "."
Loop
wscript.stdout.write(oExec.stdout.ReadAll())
Set oExec = Nothing



Set oExec = oWsc.Exec("C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin
\svnsync.exe --non-interactive sync http://url.com/"
& repo)
wscript.echo "Syncing..."
Do While oExec.Status <> 1
Wscript.sleep 10000
wscript.stdout.write "."
Loop
wscript.stdout.write(oExec.stdout.ReadAll())
Set oExec = Nothing
wscript.echo("Completed: " & repo)
Loop

I haven't looked at your code in detail,
but do you realize that you are telling the script
to do nothing for 10 seconds when you call
WScript.Sleep 10000 ? 10000milliseconds = 10seconds
See, for example, http://www.ss64.com/wsh/sleep.html

Try doing an SVN commit on your file instead of a doing a sync on the
entire SVN project.
