running dos commands.

Deadline

i don't seem to be able to run dos commands directly from DL. but putting the commands in a batch file and running that from DL works.

What am I doing wrong

example:

del "c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax8\plugin.ini"

(commands without needing the quotes like dir: c:\deadline > c:\dl.txt don't work either)

Hey Ben,



Try running:



cmd /C del “c:\program files\autodesk\3dsmax8\plugin.ini”



This opens a command prompt and runs the dos command.



Cheers,

Of course, how silly of me.

Now I just need it to run as a service.
