Also, Since RBase WILL start without initializing it from a batch file (I
have verified this) in the scheduler, why is the Start command being used?
I take that as an additional layer that has to be dealt with when a problem
develops. There is nothing you are doing that cannot be done within the
context of the RBase session, so you should be able to launch RBase, point
it to the appropriate startupCFGfile using the -O switch, attach to the
appropriate command file to address the location of the directory to do the
work and proceed from there....
