Or do the redirection in the batch file itself instead. Do you really need to
know that the blat operation worked? Afterall, you either got the email or you
didn't.

Ok, so it sounds like that is my only option. Two batch files it is.
Thanks for the confirmation.

You create a separate file that you redirect output to from each task and then
email that file instead.

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
