Is this is a Run Process action or a Set Fields action in the Active Link?
A Run Process action won't have $PROCESS$ (it would just be the @@.... to make it run on the server. A Set Fields action uses the $PROCESS$ to return something to the active link.

You might be better off writing a little shell script that take three command line arguments and effectively has this command in it. Something like this: #!/bin/sh echo $1 $2 $3 >> /path/to/startrecon.log Then your run process action would look like this: $PROCESS$ @@:/path/to/scrip "$USER$" "$colJobName$" "$TIMESTAMP$" Good luck.

This command from the command line creates the file if it doesn't exist. That's what I want. I've also passed the entire path with no luck. I've also tried specifying the full path to a file that does exist. What am I doing wrong?
