| SQL Server 2005, Windows Server 2003.I am running a stored procedure (every 1 hour) which monitors a directory on the server for any changes of the files within, If there are any changes to the files, these details (path, filename, type) get added/updated to a table on the server within the stored procedure I call the following :-EXEC xp_cmdshell 'dir G:\Imports\WD1\*.* /s /-c /4 /tc'the problem I have is that since scheduling this it seems to stop or stick in a loop all other scheduled stored procedures (some of them run for hours, where they normally complete in minutes!).Am I missing a switch or something that i should set/unset before running this type of command?Any help appreciated. |

Add a -p option to remove confirmation for every new page display in the dir command.
