Great, I'm glad you are finding it useful.

I'll plead ignorant to this.  What are you expecting those various commands
to do?  The only kind of variable expansion that the wrapper currently knows
how to do is to expand an environment variable with the exact name between
the '%' characters.   So it is going through each of your commands and 
looking
for the specified environment variable.  When a variable can not be 
found, the
Wrapper leaves the string as is.

So in this case, the last thing it does is look for an environment 
variable called
"TS: =" which does not exist, so the TS variable gets the final string 
unmodified.

If you could explain what you are expecting to have happen here, and 
point me
to some online docs describing the functionality, this may be something 
could be
a feature in a future release.  I am a bit curious.

Currently this is not possible with the Wrapper.  It takes all output 
from the
JVM, err and out and merges them into a single output stream.  out messages
are logged at level INFO and err at level ERROR.

As things are implemented right now, it would be difficult to get this 
working
without breaking things compatibility wise for existing users.  I have 
one idea,
but I'll have to look into a bit.  At the best, it would be a little bit 
kludgey to
configure however. :-/

Cheers,
