Try this:

xcopy c:\somedir \\pstst4s01\d$\d0129_backup\somedir\ /M/S/E/C/F/Y

Unfortunately that doesn't work under XP nor NT4. Yes, it prolly should,
but doesn't.
At least not on my XP or NT4 right here in front of me.
Xcopy looks damned buggy to me anyway.

This is the only way that I can get it working corectly under XP:

copymefilesover.bat
MD %2\%1
XCOPY %1 %2\%1 /S/E/C/F/Y

Then do the following:

Copymefilesover c:\somedir \\pstst4s01\d$\d0129_backup
Which creates \\pstst4s01\d$\d0129_backup\somedir and copies the files.

NT4 doesn't support the /y option.

I can report that it works for me on XP SP2. I use xcopy all the time
without issue. It's not often necessary, but I usually like to include the
/H switch.

I notice that your first example includes the /M switch while the second
example does not. Use of the /M switch will only copy files that have the
archive attribute set.

xcopy C:\somedir \\pstst4s01\d$\d0129_backup\somedir\ /e /c /h /y
(The trailing slash on the destination precludes the need for /I)

Hi All.
I was trying for a method to find out the path to a running process.
Let me clarify:

Let us assume that I have 2 instances of apache.exe webserver running
(from different locations). If I use pslist (Sysinternals Pstools):
pslist apache
Gives me the name and pid (and some more details) about the processes.

[I guess the equivalent command for Win XP and Win 2k3 is "tasklist"].

However, is there a method for finding out the location of the running
apache.exe from the command line ?
Some output like:
apache.exe <PID 1> C:\Apache_instance1\bin\apache.exe
apache.exe <PID 2> C:\Apache_instance2\bin\apache.exe

The "Active ports" utility does seem to have such a feature, but I
think there is no command line support to it.

I'm attempting to kill a selective apache instance based on the path
(using "pskill -t /PID <PID>" on Win 2k and "taskkill -t /PID <PID>"
on Win XP and Win 2k3).

Thanks in advance,
Parag

Can you add a batchfile to start the apache process, and capture the PID to
an environment variable for later use? Without checking I would guess that
the last instance in a list of apache processes would be the one that
started last.

Please help me: I want to start 3 programs at once with a batch file,
but I don't know how. Could someone write one for me? Thanks in
advance, Peter.
