You got me! Indeed I had specified "-novideo". Now the echo works, thank
you very much, though my other command does not:

    $ mplayer.exe -heartbeat-cmd "/usr/local/bin/sendHeartbeat.exe

On the other hand, the heartbeat-cmd string is a valid command:

    $ /usr/local/bin/sendHeartbeat.exe localhost
    InitLibrary_sender: sending data to 'PCINF55' (IP : 127.0.0.1)
    sending OK


>From what above I understood that the problem was the path to the file,
so I tried first by copying the sendHeartbeat command to the current
working dir. As a result, no "The system cannot find the path
specified." anymore, but the command seemed not to have any visible
effect (no heartbeat was received by my watchdog). Any clue? Thanks in
advance
