Thanks to both Tim and Ken - I'll try these suggestions today. To all that I confused with the mixed syntax - this project is for both Windows and *nix systems (AIX, SCO, Linux, etc, etc) and I have to make it work reliably on any type of platform that UDT is supported on. So I mixed the syntax (sort of) deliberately to infer that. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

On UNIX I'd go with: CMD="cd /folder/folder/U2Account; nohup udt PHANTOM ProgramName &" CRT CMD PCPERFORM CMD On Windows, I'd try something like: CMD="cd \folder\folder\U2Account & start udt PHANTOM ProgramName" CRT CMD PCPERFORM CMD HTH, Ken -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
