Hi,

I can execute the following from a CMD line window perfectly...

celestia.exe --verbose > align.log

...however, if I try to set up a windows shortcut to do the same...

celestiaCMD.jpg

...I get the following error:

invalid.jpg

The problem is actually with the redirection symbol ">". Windows does not like it.
Can anyone help with the correct syntax?

Thanks in advance..

Hi

just create a .bat file like runcelestia.bat with your command line.
Then create a shortcut to your .bat file.

Cheers Jogad,

I should have thought of that! :oops:

It's annoying however that it has to be done this way. It would be preferable IMO to kick it off directly from a WIN shortcut.

Hello

Just to say that it is possible.
Type this command for the shortcut:

cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files\Celestia\celestia.exe" --verbose > align.log"

Attention: 4 double quotes.
In this case you have to change yourself the icon of the program.

Cheers
