pstat /c doesn't help much when I have about 30 CMD's running, one of
which contains dSync.

But I don't quite follow your lead here -- I thought pstat /c would show
a program if it is hung in the exit list and it also will show a program
that is hung but hasn't exited yet, so what do I learn from running
pstat?

I suppose I could run pstat >temp.fil before running dSync and then run
pstat >temp.fil2 after dSync hangs, and immediately compare the two temp
files to figure out which CMD.EXE is running dSync. But I don't
understand how this will tell me if dSync (or its calling CMD.EXE) is
stuck in the exit list.

dSync displays the current filename being processed. The screen shows
dSync stopped part way through the file tree. Thus it is likely that
dSync isn't in the exit list yet.

The relevant lines from my .cmd are:

dsync -v dsync-NH.cfg
beep dsync-MH.beepdone

No beeps are heard, so I know the screen display didn't freeze while the
program kept running.
