ghost 14 command file

I need to shut down a database before a backup runs.  I have written a cmd file to do this but it is failing--I suspect because it needs admin privileges.  I've verified that the script runs correctly when run as administrator or from a cmd window with elevated privileges.  From Ghost, it times out.

 

1.  Is there a way to run the cmd file with elevated privileges?

2.  Is script output logged anywhere?

3.  Any other debugging suggestions?

4.  Is there any documentation on the command file feature anywhere, other than the 6 lines in the help file?

 

Thanks
