#75923 - 2003-07-17 09:37 AM Can't get command to work....
Viggen Viggen Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-03-22 Posts: 110	Hello all! quite cryptic subject line there I have copied the script einhirn used in This post, and after some tweaknig and rewriting i got it to work on my Win2k3 server. except for one little detail... I can't get the following line to work: shell "mv "+ $filename+" done" Even after that I changed it so it says "move" instead of "mv" My line looks like this: shell "move "+ $filename + " done\" + $username + ".ini" and all i get is "Can't find the specified file" Anyone got an idea?

To get the built-in to work you have to spawn it under DOS interpreter control: quote: shell "%COMSPEC% /C* move "+ $filename + " done\" + $username + ".ini"
