Luis,

The log file will be created on the XI server. It will not create on your desktop. So please do a search in XI box.

hmm ..

got it... , all the OS executions will be made locally... not remotely 😛

now i have a question...

wich is the OS user that XI uses to run the scripts?

im guessing that i have a lack of privileges on the path wich im trying to put my logs.

Luis,

<i><b>all the OS executions will be made locally... not remotely</b></i>

Yes you are correct. You can only execute on your xi system and not in any other system.

<i><b>wich is the OS user that XI uses to run the scripts?</b></i>

Even you can run the script provided you have necessary privileges.

<i><b>im guessing that i have a lack of privileges on the path wich im trying to put my logs.</b></i>

I would request to write the file in a location where you are currently writing any files in any one of your current interface. This will make us to confirm whether you are getting the log file or not. If it gets then in this directory you have permissions.

thx a lot satish...

in my initial failed testings i made a test with an output

>> filename.ext

that one failed to me...

then i used a full path...

>> /full/path/instead/just/filename.ext

and it worked fine...

Thanks a lot buddy
