Yes, that is true. I have a special executable like that.
witango_cmd, that also kills hung processes.

Hi Robert,
you also can't pass command line arguments to external program. so
the technique is, use a write action to create a bat file of what you
want, then RUN that as external.
Actually....
You can have just one static bat file (Write Action not required),
and use
the External Action environment variable fields to pass your
command line
arguments in.
Example: you have two environment variables named copy1 and copy2,
then your
bat file would have:
XCOPY "%copy1%" "%copy2%"
Hope that helps.

you also can't pass command line arguments to external program. so
the technique is, use a write action to create a bat file of what you
want, then RUN that as external. Also, be explicit with the directory
references.

Does anybody no why xcopy wouldn't work properly in a batch file
when it's
called by Witango as an external? The batch file functions as
expected if I
double-click it, but when Witango 5.5 calls it, the xcopy function
is just
glanced over. This is on Windows server 2003. Thanks, Robert
