I am trying to use PSExec to kick off a console application on a remote computer in an interactive state. When I run something like this:

PsExec.exe -s -d -i 1 \\MyServer notepad.exe

It launches Notepad just fine. If I then run this:

PsExec.exe -s -d -i 1 \\MyServer C:\Temp\MyConsoleApp.exe

It launches the command windows but doesn't do anything as far as I can tell. As in, when I run my console application locally, it displays a "heartbeat" every 5 seconds, but when I run it remotely, nothing is displayed in the command window. The .exe does show up as a process in Task Manager. Any ideas?
