Why not but I does not see how to do that

The last Bash line of my script is :

cmd /c $(cygpath -wa $PDMSEXE)'\mon.exe' tty SAM SYSTEM/XXXXXX /SAMPLE 
monitor 'c:\tmp\batch\mac.mac'

I changed it to

cmd /c $(cygpath -wa $PDMSEXE)'\mon.exe' tty SAM SYSTEM/XXXXXX /SAMPLE monitor 'c:\tmp\batch\mac.mac' > c:/tmp/batch/redirectNT

When running the scipt in Bash console (not in cron), NT program creates 
the console and file c:/tmp/batch/redirectNT is empty

Is there another syntax to redirect NT console output to a file ?

Thanks
Arnaud
