I am trying to use the Pre/Post Scene Commands in an INI file but I can't
get them to work.  Do they work in OS X or am I doing something wrong?  Any
advice would be greatly appreciated.  I am attempting to shell out to the
OS to create a file before the rendering begins and overwrite it after it
finishes.

Pre_Scene_Command=printf "working" > ../../povProj/status2.txt
Post_Scene_Command=printf "done" > ../../povProj/status2.txt


I don't know a lot of UNIX but these lines do work when pasted into the
terminal.  I apologize if this has been asked before.   I am new to the
list (just signed up) and I couldn't find any past references to it.
