# Script Runtime and Timeout

The maximum permitted runtime for scripts is 60 seconds. If the script does not complete within 60 seconds, the operation that was running when the script was called will return a warning. The warning is recorded in the log file and will contain an error code (0xC0003EAA) and a description like this:

“The supplied script has not finished in the time-out period defined by Intel® SCS”

Changing the maximum permitted runtime is not possible for scripts run by the Configurator. If your script requires more than 60 seconds to complete, you can wrap your script with a batch file like this:

Start Myscript.bat %1 %2 ...

Exit 0

This will cause the operation to return a success code (0). If you do this, your script will be responsible to handle any subsequent errors if they are generated by your script. Script errors will not be recorded in the log.
