Duh, I've used command switches before in DOS! I guess I just didn't recognize THOSE switches, (not have moved to NT or XP yet) so I was thrown off. My bad! Fix works just fine.
Glad to hear that.
I had another question I forgot to address in my original message. When starting up Jetty with cocoon.bat a message is displayed: "Use SHUTDOWN to close normally. Use [Ctrl]+[C] to abort abruptly."
this is a message output by the database shipped with cocoon. if you remove that block the message goes away. Unfortunately, that message is not configurable and we can't get rid of if :/
Like many others, I used Tomcat before switching to Jetty; Tomcat has a startup.bat and shutdown.bat. Is this a legacy message? Or is SHUTDOWN a reference to using the NT/XP Task Manager to shut it down (missing from Windows ME)?
As I said, this has nothing to do with cocoon and appears in tomcat logs as well. It's just that tomcat scripts redirect stdout and stderr to log files.
