What if you add the full path to echo in the command: $PROCESS$ @@:/bin/echo "$USER$" "$colJobName$" "$TIMESTAMP$" >> startrecon.log
However, I suspect that that won't work either, because ">>" is a shell directive and will get interpreted as an argument to echo rather than telling the shell what to do with the output of the echo command. You might be better off writing a little shell script that take three command line arguments and effectively has this command in it. Something like this: #!/bin/sh echo $1 $2 $3 >> /path/to/startrecon.log Then your run process action would look like this: $PROCESS$ @@:/path/to/scrip "$USER$" "$colJobName$" "$TIMESTAMP$" Good luck.

This command from the command line creates the file if it doesn't exist. That's what I want. I've also passed the entire path with no luck. I've also tried specifying the full path to a file that does exist. What am I doing wrong?
