How to run a batch file async using PSExec

pstools

I have a batch file I run that, among other things, reset's the NICs in the machine. I have some watchdog software running on another machine that monitors the first one. I'd like to run this batch file using PSExec when it detects certain types of failures. The problem I'm having is that since the batch file reset's the NIC's it kills the connection PSExec has (I'm OK with that). The real issue is that when PSExec dies the batch file stops running (leaving the NIC's disabled).

I've tried using the -i option with PSExec with no luck. Any ideas about basically just fire off the batch file and NOT have it stop when PSExec is disconnected?

And, as usually, I figure things out 10 minutes after asking the question. It turns out I had the parameters in the wrong order. Here's what worked:

psexec \\MyServer -i -d C:\Misc\ResetNICs.bat
