Hi - I am going crazy here trying to get this to work !
I am using Sysinternals psservice.exe to enumerate a service on another server. From a command prompt, the following works:
"C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveState Recovery\Advanced Server 3.0\Agent\CommandFiles\psservice.exe" \\hocacomms1 query "totalcoms agent" > "test54.txt"
The full paths need to be there for another reason I wont go into now. I have replicated the exact command line string in Kix, but it wont gernerate the piped output:
$source = CHR(34) + "C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveState Recovery\Advanced Server 3.0\Agent\CommandFiles\psservice.exe" + CHR(34)
$dest = CHR(32) + CHR(62) + CHR(32) + CHR(34) + "test54.txt" + CHR(34)
$command = $source + " \\hocacomms1 query " + CHR(34) + "totalcoms agent" + CHR(34) + $DEST
SHELL $COMMAND
? $COMMAND
This gives:
"C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveState Recovery\Advanced Server 3.0\Agent\CommandFiles\psservice.exe" \\hocacomms1 query "totalcoms agent" > "test54.txt"
I cant understand why it wont piep as in normal CMD window ?
Also, it seems that if the string is wider than the CMD window in windows, the string starts to write over itself....
I really just need to get this command to pipe output to a text file through kix, it workls PERFECTLY in a batch file

See the FAQ: Not quite everything you wanted to know about RUN and SHELL
Quote:
If you want to use PIPE "|" or redirect ">" or ">>" then you must include the command interpreter.

I tried your code, but I am still not getting any text file created??
SetOption("WrapAtEOL","ON")
$COMMAND = ' %COMSPEC% /C "C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveState Recovery\Advanced Server 3.0\Agent\CommandFiles\psservice.exe" \\hocacomms1 query "totalcoms agent" > "test54.txt" '
? $COMMAND
SHELL $COMMAND

Actually, eben if I just run the code now without the redirect I get a blank CMD output screen:
SetOption("WrapAtEOL","ON")
SHELL ' %COMSPEC% /C "C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveState Recovery\Advanced Server 3.0\Agent\CommandFiles\psservice.exe" \\hocacomms1 query "totalcoms agent"'
When I ran this before with my code, I at least get the service status info show on the CMD screen.

ERROR: 2 - The system cannot find the file specified.
I had big probs getting the thing to run initially with the spaces in the path and also the "totalcoms agent" quotes in the middle of it all.....

back to the original error message i was getting, this is what took me days to fix....i eventually got the string to not break after that first space after Program...
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ERROR: 1 - Incorrect function.
