When you run this command from a command shell, are you running it the 
same way and does it complete and return a result/output to the comment 
prompt?  About how long does it take to run?  e.g. Did you run it as 
follows and did it complete and return to C:\> and what was the result?

C:\>c:\iometer\iometer.exe c:\config.icf c:\result.csv
C:\>

Does this command request input while it is running -- if so, then that 
would be the problem.

If it doesn't and it runs as shown above and returns to C:\>, then the 
only other thing I can think of is to try specifying the <stdin> option 
with the name of a file that exists but is empty (so that you're 
redirecting stdin, stdout, and stderr to get around a Windows API issue 
that can occur for some commands).  You don't need to specify the 
SAMECONSOLE option then.  For example:

<process name="'Execute IOMeter'">
  <location>'local'</location>
  <command mode="'shell'">'c:\\iometer\\iometer.exe c:\\config.icf 
c:\\result.csv'</command>
  <stdin>'c:\\empty.txt'</stdin>
  <returnstdout/>
  <returnstderr/>
</process>

A more question!
 
I am trying to execute this process that should be a batch file resulting 
in a window to open and to start executing test.
If I execute the command from dos shell it's ok, but I cannot execute it 
in a STAF process.
 
<process name="'Execute IOMeter'">
        <location>'local'</location>
        <command mode="'shell'">'c:\\iometer\\iometer.exe c:\\config.icf 
c:\\result.csv'</command>
        <console use="'same'"/> 
        <returnstdout/>
        <returnstderr/>
       </process>
 
It executes indefinitely and I never get a result....
 
Any ideas?

Glad it's working.  STAF provides another way to do this as well. 
 Instead, you could use the PROCESS START request's STDIN option to 
specify the name of the stdin file (when you do this on Windows, you'll 
probably also need to specify the SAMECONSOLE option as well).  For 
example, via a <process> element in a STAX job: 

  <script>
   rssdcliWin = 'C:\\Program Files\\RealSSD Manager\\rssdm.exe' 
    yesAnswerFileName = 'yes.bat'  # Specify the file name 
  </script> 

  <process name="'secureErase'"> 
    <location>'local'</location> 
    <command mode="'shell'">'"%s" -X -n %s -p ffff' % 
(rssdcliWin,driveId)</command> 
    <stdin>yesAnswerFileName</stdin> 
    <returnstdout/> 
    <returnstderr/> 
    <console use="'same'"/> 
  </process> 


For more information on the STDIN option, see section "8.13 Process 
Service", sub-section "8.13.2 START", in the STAF User's Guide at 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRPROCSRV.

I had just to add 
mode="'shell'" 
in the command definition. 

Sorry and thank you!

Hi, I need to append a script file which just contains a y and return 
character to accept the first question I get from command line when 
executing a command. 

My process is: 

<process name="'secureErase'"> 
<location>'local'</location> 
<command>'%s -X -n %s -p ffff' % (rssdcliWin,driveId)</command> 
<parms>redirectYesAnswerToaFile</parms> 
<returnstdout/> 
<returnstderr/> 
</process> 

where: 

rssdcliWin='C:\\Program Files\\RealSSD Manager\\rssdm.exe' 
redirectYesAnswerToaFile=' < yes.bat' 

and yes.bat contains: 

y 
<return character> 

When I execute this string from CLI it's ok and software executes 
correctly, but from STAX Monitor I get a parameters error. 

Can you help me? 

Thanks. 

Luca.
