[code] try: print("Attempting to restart Splunk...") subprocess.call(["psexec", "\\\\" + host, "'c:\\Program Files\\Splunk\\bin\\splunk.exe'", "restart"]) [/code] & am getting: [output] Attempting to restart Splunk... PsExec v1.98 - Execute processes remotely Copyright (C) 2001-2010 Mark Russinovich Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com PsExec could not start 'c:\Program Files\Splunk\bin\splunk.exe' restart on [IP_ADDRESS]: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. [/output] I am simply trying to restart the splunk forwarder instance.... Any thoughts?? Thanks. Kevin
