Job requeues for unknown reason

Deadline
1

Hi Ryan

I get a job running on windows machine performing the following task

c:\windows…\cmd.exe /C move “myfile” “thefile” & copy “thefile” “a_second_file” & copy “thefile” “a_third_file”

the job executes the above correctly then return an exit code 0 (great) but the task requeues saying there are errors

Any Idea ?

I think the problem is that you have a frame range of 0-1:

A command script job expects each “frame” to have a corresponding line in the commands file that is submitted with the job (starting at index 0). If that commands file only has the one line, that explains why it fails when it attempts “frame” 1. If you set your frame range to just 0, you should be good.
