Hi I am creating a housekeeping script for Windows Drives.

I have seen in the past that using rm -rf command via nsh on a windows target appears to be slower that the windows native forfiles command.

I have my command working natively via command prompt:

forfiles /p "C:\Windows\Temp" /s /c "cmd /c Echo Deleting @file"

This returns of all files and directories preceeded by Deleting.

I have added this to an an nsh type 1 script and making use of Nexec as follows:

nexec -e cmd /c "forfiles /p "C:\Windows\Temp" /s /c "cmd /c Echo Deleting @file""

Which returns the following error:

Error: Invalid syntax. '/c' option is not allowed more than '1' time(s).

Type "FORFILES /?" for usage

I therefore tried the following approach on the native windows command prompt:

cmd /c "forfiles /p "C:\Windows\Temp" /s /c "cmd /c Echo Deleting @file""

Which also executed successfully with a list of file names.

There only appears to be an issue when i nexec - e it?
