Yes, probably you run WPKG with /quiet flag. This means it logs all what WPKG says to Windows event log. By default, Windows event log is 512 + 128 + 64 kB large, for various event groups (rotated). Isn't it a joke? 720 kB maximum logs? So that they could fit on a single side floppy, anyone still remember those? :) You use "copy" command, and I believe your "copy" is running in verbose mode, so it produces a lot of text, which gets appended to the event log. So you have at least three solutions: 1) increase the size of event log on all your Windows workstations 2) don't use /quiet with wpkg.js 3) run "copy" (and all other commands that produce output) in a quiet/silent mode. If the quiet/silent mode is not available, you can make the command quiet by appending >nil at the very end of the command. So, point 3 is the easiest and recommended. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
