Eric,

Remove the work "start /B" from the script file.

Instead of this:

  start /B domdsmc selective * /subdir=yes /adsmoptfile=dsm.daily.opt
              /logfile=domdsm.daily.log dominc.daily.log

Use this:

  domdsmc selective * /subdir=yes /adsmoptfile=dsm.daily.opt
              /logfile=domdsm.daily.log >> dominc.daily.log

Thanks,

Del
