Hello,

We run a batch file which kicks off ANOTHER program with a variable. We have been using this BAT file on most of our servers, on particular server we are having an issue running this file.

the problem, once the BAT file kicks off it WAITS for the user to hit "enter key" before it gives the output of the program and to CONTINUE we need to keep entering the ENTER key.

here is how how the file is laid out
*********
d:\print\signal.exe c:\plus\1.txr
rem c:\plus\1.txr
***********

it kicks of signal.exe and just waits for Enter key, then it displays a message
"missing parameter in config"
(which is ok) it does not continue to the next line of output until we hit the enter key
once we hit the key it goes to the next line
"entry 203 added" and continues on...

Does anyone know what the problem is here....
running on Windows 2000

Any help would be appreciated.Since there is no obvious error in the batch file and it runs on the other servers, I guess I would start with the the c:\plus\1.txr file. Things like what created it, where was it created and the actual contents. This may give you a clue.

Hope this helps. There is No difference in 1.TXR file from the other server. That file is created by the fax software with transmission results, it looks exactly the same on all the servers, even checked for extra spaces, lines in it.... the same on all the servers...

Hope there is no configuration on the server for BAT files...Not MUCH left is there?

Make SURE the SIGNAL program versions are the same on all machines.

Use fc or comp to do the compare of c:\plus\1.txr
with another copy on another machine.

This could be caused by a system setting, but finding it could be a nightmare.

Good luck.
