Windows Scheduled Task Log Output

I needed to have a script list and kill processes and I needed that script to run out of a scheduled task.

It would be nice to know what happened with the script when it runs early in the morning.

I found  that if you call the script from the Windows Task Scheduler that you can give the job a few more options.

Change the scheduled tasks to read as
cmd /C NightlyBatchJob.bat > NightlyBatchJob.output.txt 2>&1

The output should be placed in the same directory as the script.

I also should include the script that stops all of the java processes for Wallstreet systems CMM/TRM application.

REM Win 2003 systems have the sleep command
REM sleep 40
REM XP systems don't.
REM The ping command times out at 20 seconds, goofy way to create a wait.
REM Comment out either the ping or the sleep depending on which works
cd \<install_path>\pmm\bin
REM force PMAD/PMSD to start, in case they are not running
