From: mh AT mike DOT franken DOT de (Michael Hirmke) Subject: date in a backgrounf task ? 9 Dec 1997 13:46:14 -0800 Message-ID: <6jWduzp$pfB.cygnus.gnu-win32@mike.franken.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Hi *, I'm trying to use "date" in a batch file, which is called by an NT service (Legato Networker save). Whenever the date command gets started, it sits there doing nothing, leaving the batch file waiting forever. Only way to get the batch running further is to kill date.exe from taskmanager. Any idea, what might cause this behaviour ? If I start this batch from the command line, everything work as expected. This is NT4 Server SP3 German with Cygnus' cdk B18 and latest coolview. Thx and bye.
