That is an excellent question to which I do not know the answer. I
can perhaps get more info on REXECD in one of the comp.os.os2
groups. Unfortunately the online documentation provided with Warp
is sorely lacking in its descriptions of REXEC/REXECD.

Thanks for the quick response Jeffrey. I posted the message here in
hopes there might be another OS/2 administrator that had attempted
something similar. If so I hoped s/he could steer me in the proper
direction. I'll continue my own debugging efforts in the meantime.
Thank you again for the response.
