#Redirect Console 2 File?

Is there a way of directing console output to a file for processes created as detached processes? Essentially what I'd like to do is run a "batch" job and have a log file showing what happened. Alternatively, are there any plans to add a true batch processing facility to NT? Thanks in advance, Roy Kayahara There is 1 Reply.

Alternatively, are there any plans to add a true batch processing facility to NT? If by console output you mean stdout type output, then you already can do this. If you mean the Console APIs, then no, there is no clean way to do that. What, exactly, do you mean by batch processing? What doesn't the Schedule service provide that you need? BTW, this belongs in section 6, API-Base/Console. Lee
