If you execute the command manually ("/bin/sh --noprofile -c '...'") does it work? Does "/bin/sh" on your system understand ">&/dev/null"? Is there anything in "dir_watch_wrap_stdout" or "dir_watch_wrap_stderr" that indicates a problem? > Ryan Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: BRA-809880 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
