Logging Script Run From Webpage

Ok, smack me if this one is too basic, but i'm running a script which is hosted online eg. msched.exe http://url/script.scp

This launches fine, but I would also like the script to keep a log on the local pc as well, but when i run

Code: Select all

msched.exe http://url/script.scp /LOGFILE=c:\logfile.log

I get a 404 error as it is treating the logfile flag as part of the url.

Placing the logfile flag infront of http://url/script.scp doesn't help either.

Am I overlooking something obvious?

Any help appreciated

Use quotes like this:

msched.exe "http://url/script.scp" /LOGFILE=c:\logfile.log

Actually you should only need quotes if there's a space in the URL. I just tried it and it works fine for me without quotes if the URL has no spaces in it.

hmm... i tried it with and without the quotes via a cmd prompt in the ms directory, result i get is

Code: Select all

Unable to retrieve http://url/script.scp /LOGFILE=c:\logfile.log
View server response?

My URL is actually one word eg. url instead of url.com.au, it resolves perfectly fine however, and runs fine as long as i drop the logfile flag. url has no spaces.

I must be missing something obvious?
