Interconnect

  • Run CMD Command integration and auditing—Variables (dynamic data) and Events (recorded activity). Retrieve the error level and PID of the recently completed CMD command, including the entire command line and the start-up folder used.

    Additionally, logs contain detailed information, warnings, and error events, highlighting the CMD command initiation and termination, as well as custom-defined success or failure levels.

Notes

  • If long filename is used to specify command line parameter, put it into double quotes, e.g., "my file.txt".
  • Long file name usage · explains the necessity to delimit long file names using double quote characters.
  • Always force placing new windows in the foreground (above all other windows). See simple instructions for a fix—New program window appears behind all other open windows.
