Solved Redirection operators in shortcuts

[chibislick]

Hi, I'm trying to add redirection operators (>>, in this case) in a shortcut, but it's not working. It's quite puzzling to tell the truth.

This works in command line:

C:\Windows\System32\wbadmin.exe start backup -backuptarget:SOMEPATH -user:SOMEUSER -password:SOMEPASS -allCritical >> c:\logs.txt

In a shortcut? It gives me an error that the >> operator is not a recognized argument of the wbadmin.exe program.

Are there shortcut gurus out here that could point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Welcome to the Seven Forums.

The redirect chevron is a function of the cmd app.
You can try to construct your shortcut with a target like this:

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c dir c: > "%userprofile%\desktop\test.txt"

That makes sense. Thanks,
