Are you saying that on the other machine, you see a command window with the batch file's full path name as the title, and that window contains a command prompt? Something like: | +-----------------------------------------------+ | | c:\some\path\mycmd.bat [-][X]| | +-----------------------------------------------+ | | c:\docs and settings\foo> | | | | | ... | If so, it would appear that the other machine found something wrong with the batch and simply exited. The path for the command prompt is probably the user's home directory since that would be the default directory. Now you say that the batch file runs by itself, even on the other machine, right? Your system is running Windows 200, right? Which JVM is being run on each system? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4038583#...
