The 'script' shows nothing related to putting information into results,txt But I see that is done using redirection of output when the script is started?
So, perhaps put the copy commands in a subordinate cmd file and call that, with the blat done after control returns from the called script - you will lose the log details of the blat process, but you can't have everything. If you have not used it, have a look at tee.exe for redirection JimB From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jimmy Tran Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2014 3:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] quick batch question I have a scheduled task to run a batch script to copy files. In task scheduler I run the command c:\batch.bat > d:\results.txt. Example of c:\batch.bat copy c:\file1 d: copy c:\file2 d: blat.exe d:\results.txt (smtp settings omitted) This fails to email because I get an error about opening the d:\results.txt file since it is use by task scheduler. So my question is, what is the best way to email myself the logs for this batch file? I can't think of any other way to do this other than to have a separate task to email reults.txt, which I want to stay away from. TIA Jimmy
