Stan, The reason for the problems that you see are that most scripts (all those without file extensions) in that [dspace]/bin directory are actually Linux Bourne Shell scripts.
In DSpace 1.5.x only the 'dsrun.bat' script works on Windows (it's a Windows/MS-DOS batch file). In DSpace 1.5.x, if you want to run one of the other scripts on Windows, you'd need to open up the script file (e.g. update-handle-prefix) and type in the class name which appears after the "$BINDIR/dsrun". So, as an example, instead of running update-handle-prefix on Windows, you'd run: dsrun org.dspace.handle.UpdateHandlePrefix As another example, instead of running start-handle-server on Windows, you'd run: dsrun -Ddspace.log.init.disable=true -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j-handle-plugin.properties net.handle.server.Main [handle-dir] >> [path to handle server log file] Obviously, this is not ideal, and makes it difficult to run commands on Windows. So, in DSpace 1.6.0 (to be released in Feb), we've reworked this, so that all commands (on Linux or Windows) can be run from a common "dspace" script. So, in DSpace 1.6.0, you'd just run '[dspace]/bin/dspace update-handle-prefix' on either Linux, Mac or Windows. - Tim On 1/25/2010 11:39 AM, Stan Orlov wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > We hope someone on this list can help us understand why some scripts in > the DSpace/bin directory on Windows run while some others don't. > > We've installed the handle server and edited the config files.
