Can you add a batch file before the command line process on a timed event? I want to copy my echomail packets to another directory and then run sbbsecho.

You could have a timed event run a batch file. So instead of running sbbsecho directly, you could modify the event to run a batch file, passing the parameters needed for sbbsecho, and the batch file would copy the packets and then run sbbsecho.

Thank you, that's what I wanted to know. Great Help.
