I haven't tested SLEEP on Server 2008 but it worked on 2000 and 2003 servers when added.Because you are using the START command without the WAIT option. But even then some <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/programs-239435" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROGRAMS">PROGRAMS</a> don't obey the wait option. So just execute the first command without the START command.<br/><br/>c:\path\tdpexcc.exe<br/>Tail.exe -20 logfile.log</p></body></html>
