Sure. Consider that the pipe is not created by bash, but by cmd. What you get is the exitcode of the last command in the pipe, which is tee. > When I try this: > > bash -o pipefail -c "mainScript.sh 2>&1 | tee %LOGFILE%" > it errors with > bash: mainScript.sh: command not found Sure. You're using the -c option, so you're trying to run mainScript.sh as a command. I assume mainScript.sh is in the current working directory. And the current working directory is not in $PATH. And it shouldn't. Either use ./mainScript.sh or, better, the full path to mainScript.sh since that makes you independent of your CWD.
