Nope

You could do that, or, just put the actual bat file you want to run in
that directory and rename it to bpstart_notify.bat

Can't help ya there.
I'm in the same boat.
I don't use the bpstart_notify and bpend_notify files on the clients for
my own use.
I tell the windows/unix admins responsible for the systems, that the
files are there and for them to do any pre/post processing they require,
within those scripts.

Basically, I say "If you have any files that need to be closed,
processes that need to be stopped, DB's that need to be quiesed, etc,
put the appropriate commands in this script, and let me know when you've
finished."
