Re: [WhatsUp Forum] Program Notifications

[Joseph J. Whalen]

Thank you for the input.    I don't mean to ask  a stupid question, but how do I build a .cmd file?   I tried the CMD "batchfilename.bat".  Apparently used in that syntax all it does is open a command prompt window.    Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: Vishwas Gadgil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 5:45 PM Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] Program Notifications What operating system are you running ? If it is NT then you could try creating a .cmd file instead of a batch file and that might do a trick. Also, while calling the batch file, try calling it using the shell command ( in NT, CMD "batchfilename.bat" ) If it works, send me my 2 cents.. Vishwas Gadgil.
