RobyCopy problem:

[mark]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.advanced_server (More info?)

Hi, I use a RoboCopy to move files from one server to another when a file(s)
in a designated folder is changed.
It works fine 99% of the time fine.

The one problem that I do have is that sometimes the RoboCopy process does
not exit after performing the copy. When I view running processes under
TaskManager I see that there are multiple RoboCopy processes still running.

Any ideas why this is happening and how to resolve them greatly appreciated
Regards
Mark

We have find a solution:
In our C# console application, the robocopy is executed with the Process class.
We specified in ProcessStartInfo object that we don't want to create any windows (with ProcessStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true)

The solution is that we don't specify this any more.... and the problem is resolve...
Of course, I don't know why !

Just out of curiousity, what switches are you running with robocopy?

I run robocopy about 100 times a week with a /mir switch and a few others and never came across this problem? I'm using the latest version of Win2k3 server SDK too.
