I see a big problem here Herman...
...I know nothing of Apple world.

I run away from them, years ago.
To much ... "do it my way" :-D

So I'm afraid I cannot be myself of any help on this issue,
but may be somebody will be!!

Great news !!

Happy Life !1!

Hello Herman
can you tell me what is it?

Is that you are trying to run a batch job?

Alain

@monica
hmmm.
do you launch FFs (1) or
do you launch a Batch (2) or a Job???

For me after deleting last job, and closing FFs, when I reopen it there is nothing.(3) Last session as you can see contains las run data

@ Monica Hahaaha.. I'm still laughing by myself- I usually do "screenShot" NEVER DONE A "ScreenVid"" hahahaha (I did it FOR YOU !!!) Cannot attach it - too large- Please check the link and report back if it works!! Thanks Alain https://www.dropbox.com/s/kqsqdhxpbp5bjt6/2020-...

Many thanks

Alain

Any help on the PostLog.bat will be gratefully received !!!

Alain

ooops
I took it literally

and thinking back I've never seen the log appearing :-D

No, that .bat string doesn't work.

:-D

Alain

Oh Wow your are so kind !!

So I deleted the line. Saved FFS.Batch file

did "FFS edit" F8 ... then saved it
opened with notepad an LO!

My problem is solved!!!!!

a big thanks

(unless I did something wrong into the PostLog.bat file)

oooh...
forgot that

thanks!!

Alain

Perfect!! A) New/Edit PostLog.bat Add one line = "cat `dir /od- /b [......\...\F8-log-directory] | head -1`" B) edit the FFS.batch: Add one line = "PostSyncCommand Condition="Completion">"...\PostLog.bat" Nothing else to change. Correct?? Many Thanks Alain PS: all ...

The FFS help file has some info on calling batch files. toby9999, 23 Jul 2020, 05:04

My FFS.Batch file is run by taskmanager.
.
... no idea how to run your command...
and if it's in a .bat file,

how to chain it at the end of FF.batch in taskmanager.

Alain

Thanks !!!
not clear how to "call" the bat file...


I'll try and report back

Alain

Yes, thanks

I did the same reasoning.
without that dir, it's working fine.

Nonetheless, no idea what I was getting the error for.

Alain

Ok, Thanks !!! ---- just a short answer: If I use (STOP) I expect FFS will delete it's own lock. That maybe didn't happen, but not sure. see below. I then deleted manually BOTH locks. Relaunching the same job will created the two .locks, (correctly I supposed) then went in "error waiting for lo...

No way in the program. You could create a link from the default location that points to your custom location xCSxXenon, 27 May 2020, 15:00

Thanks Sir "!

Never tough of that !!

Alain

No idea why to-day is so error prone.

I stopped the previous run.... excluded a Problematic directory, then launched it again.

No way to get rid of the error
a) stopped then manually delete both files in sending and receiving directory.
b) checked computer date/time

Lost me completely.

Alain

I's the same batch I've used so far. Now it's more then 30 minutes stuck in an iteration on automatic retry, and the item remaining number dont change. a) what is the culprit - cannot read the long file name string appearing when the timer is zeroed - Is there a way to understand who it is trying to...

Not sure if it was previously requested.

.... but using FFS mainly as a batch, kicked up by TaskSched....

I would really appreciate to have this feature, instead of having to remember to check every day my logs.

Thanks

Alain

As simple as it can be coudnt find a way.

I want to put all FS logs into my default L:/Logs/Fs.


Also searched these forums ... no results !!
Thanks

Alain

correct!
