#74647 - 2003-04-22 04:57 PM Problem with SHELL command
GRF GRF Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-02-15 Posts: 45 Loc: Ohio	I'm trying to get this to run from KiX. code: ; Downtime Events $DUMP = "dumpel.exe -s server -l system -m eventlog -e 6008 6009 -t -format cutds >>o:\all\downtime.log" IF (@WKSTA) = ("server") shell "$DUMP" ENDIF If I cut and paste the command in a Dos window it works fine. When I execute it from KiX, it returns the Dumpel Usage screen. Any thoughts? Thanks, _________________________ GF

GRF GRF Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-02-15 Posts: 45 Loc: Ohio	shell "%COMSPEC% /C "+$DUMP worked. Thanks a bunch. As for the () and "", I wasn't sure if they were necessary or not. Thanks again, _________________________ GF
