ROBOCOPY problems

[Rick Charnes]

I have ROBOCOPY v 1.96 : Robust File Copy for Windows NT, using it on my
Win2k computer. Is there a Win2k version I should be using? When I
execute a .CMD file that includes ROBOCOPY, it goes completely nuts: the
DOS box executes the ROBOCOPY line endlessly, as if it were in an
infinite loop. Only way I can stop it is with Windows Task Manager |
End Task. Thanks.

Hi

You don't have a batch file called robocopy.bat or robocopy.cmd
laying around by any change?

Can you launch a simple robocopy job normally in a command prompt?

Hi

I got an e-mail from him. He had a file called ROBOCOPY.CMD ;-)

Oh, well, that'll do it, yes. ;-)
