Hi I noticed that the .txt/.cmd files are created in my development XP. I could simulate to see if it is behaving the same way. I could not check if Win2K or Win2KSP3 is used since the production server is at customer site. I recalled if could probably Win2kSP3 since it is the recommended upgrade and stable one. Is the problem solved now, whereabout the timestamp that are you adding? XP may have the same behaviour since I could see the .txt/.cmd files did create for my test run woa application.

The name of each file is composed this way : <application's name>-<random>-<number>.txt/cmd The number is fixed in the cmd, the only "variable" part is the random number. Based on the files in my Temp dir, i suspect that the ms-dos %RANDOM% generator is not so random : I think that when starting multiple instances at the same time, more that one random part with the same value is generated. This way, one instance is overwriting existing cmd files... which results in inconsistent batch scripts and leads to infinite loops we get on our production servers. Note that we didn't had this problem on Win2K but only on Win2K3. Adding a timestamp to the temp files should solve the problem Regards Frédéric JECKER GIP s...@ris Le 5 janv. 2010 à 05:32, Cheong Hee (Gmail) a écrit : Hi Frederic I have not seen this problem in WO5.2/Win2K. But then I am using Apache not IIS. I am just curious could it due to IIS that is the one keep writing the file. Just 2c.

We are running WO 5.2/IIS/Win2K3. The C:\Document ans settings\USER\Local Settings\Temp folder contains two kind of files : ".cmd" files named after the application's instances followed by an ID ex : Application-11538-1.cmd Their content is variable ie : @echo off :PARSARGS if not '%1'=='' ( echo %1 >> C:\DOCUME~1\Symaris\LOCALS~1\Temp\ApplicationCariatides-11538-8.TXT shift goto :PARSARGS ) set JVARGS= for /F "tokens=*" %%a in ('findstr /R "\-D.*EqualsDelimiterToken.*" C:\DOCUME~1\Symaris\LOCALS~1\Temp\ApplicationCariatides-11538-8.TXT') do if not '%%a'=='' set JVARGS=!JVARGS!%%a if defined JVARGS echo %JVARGS:EqualsDelimiterToken==% > C:\DOCUME~1\Symaris\LOCALS~1\Temp\ApplicationCariatides-11538-10.TXT set NONXARGS= for /F "tokens=*" %%a in (C:\DOCUME~1\Symaris\LOCALS~1\Temp\ApplicationCariatides-11538-8.TXT) do if not '%%a'=='' set NONXARGS=!NONXARGS!%%a if defined NONXARGS echo %NONXARGS:EqualsDelimiterToken==% >> C:\DOCUME~1\Symaris\LOCALS~1\Temp\ApplicationCariatides-11538-9.TXT For each ".cmd" file a text file is generated containing the app command line args (the textfile is merely generated by the cmd file) Sometimes (I didn't find out why), something gets wrong and the text file keeps on growing growing growing.... What are these files for ? is it possible to deactivate their execution ... or solve the growing problem ;-) Maybe a clue, some of the ".cmd" files content seems like it has been overwritten and contains duplicates parts/labels.. which could maybe lead to infinite loops.
