Tim, I am skipping using the batch file and only executing the python script directly...and so far it works fine.
So now I have: pid, retVal = wmi.WMI("1.2.3.4").new("Win32_Process").Create(CommandLine="c:\python\python.exe c:\some_script.py") Thanks again...not sure why when using the batch file to start it wouldnt always work, but as long is it works now! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
