I've been trying to get a nicely formatted log file for the render pc's that we're keeping, but I'm having some problems with it.

The setup: 2 (and later 6+) pc's that restart each morning between 8.00 am and 8.30 am.  

On each pc there is a batch file that writes to the network server to log that it has restarted.

The text in the log file is a simple setup for how I want it structured:  

<2 tabs> Comet <2 tabs> Vixen <2 tabs> Cupid <2 tabs> Dasher <2 tabs> Etc

The code on the first render pc:

```
<nul set /p ".=%date%   %time%">> \\no-s-05\Bram\_renderfarm.log

```

This way, the batch file will not create a new line when it has inputted its information.

The following machines will just have to add 2 tabs and their own time, and this is where I'm having a hard time, when they run the code:

```
<nul set /p ".=     %time%">> \\no-s-05\Bram\_renderfarm.log

```

For some reason I can't get it to add tabs. I was able to just add tabs before when I was closing the loop (letting it start on a new line) when I had just 2 pc's running a batch with the code:

```
echo        %time% >> "\\no-s-05\Bram\_renderfarm.log"

```

But I would like all pc's to add to their line with tabs before the last batch closes the file, which I can't seem to make it work.

I hope that what I told is clear, of course I'll also try to figure this out by myself but if anyone else has a solution, it would be nice. Thank you.
