Regarding the redirect to a file, PSExec has problems with redirection.  What I ended up having to do is push a batch file to the machine, run the batch file using psexec, and then delete the batch file when it finished.  Check out the psexec forum, it's loaded with stuff about that: http://forum.sysinternals.com/forum_topics.asp?FID=8 Here's one specifically: http://forum.sysinternals.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16830&KW=stonkers&PID=83238#83238 Regarding running from exec, I'm not sure.  I haven't used psexec at my new job so I can't play around with it... ________________________________ From: coonay To: user@ant.apache.org Sent: Thursday, May 7, 2009 11:40:53 PM Subject: core Task 'exec' start Invalid switch - /B                                                                                                                           /B is a valid switch for start ,but there is error using ant exec task,why is that ?
