Agreed somewhat....I had an issue with a perl script that wasn't running right and couldn't reproduce (no command line output)....when I redirected the output to a file I found that Windows was throwing errors that it was displaying on the stdout.....so I use this as a litmus test.

According to Roger's description, the batch file is designed to access some other application and run an update on that application which will result in no output. This redirection of text would work for something like a windows command for e.g. that returns a value such as echo %computername% etc.... Try enclosing the whole command and the parameters within quotes..

To troubleshoot these issues I typically redirect the output to a text file...so in this case I would append '> c:\test.log' to the end of your command, see if you get anything in that text file that would indicate the reason you aren't able to see the results of the batch file. Also remember that Remedy runs the command as the user that is running the arserver.exe process, possibly not the same user that you run as when you are remote controlled into the machine...so that can cause issues. I typically recommend that the Remedy service be running as 'someone', not 'Local System' like default...this allows you to control the environment it runs in a bit more that 'Local System'. Let me know if any of this helps. _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Nall, Roger Sent: Friday, February 26, 2010 4:24 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Run Process Active Link ** LJ, Still nothing happens: Checking Test IHLR (0) <ACTL> -> Passed qualification -- perform if actions <ACTL> 0: Run Process <ACTL> @@: 76\9\Test IHLR\0\3\0\1267226336\0\0\\38\3\720001184\0\720001185\0\720000429\0\\ <ACTL> Run Process on server <ACTL> Server: psdvrem1 <ACTL> Process: cmd /c C:\IHLR\remedyihlr\remedyihlr.bat 310260913288392 555555 2063310278 <ACTL> Success Is it possible to that Remedy does not have permissions to use the command line?
