Hello,

Under Windows XP, when launching an executable in a ".cmd" or ".bat",
I want to close the DOS window as soon as my "exe" is launched...

I can't find the syntax to do that.. who can help?
Thank you

Joël
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

No, the command "exit" is only taken into account after the executable launched in the batch is closed, whereas my need is for "exit" to be taken into account as soon as the executable is launched!

I looked at TASKKILL, but it doesn't seem to work either because "TASKKILL /im cmd.exe" closes all open DOS windows. Is there a syntax that allows me to "kill" only the one that interests me?

Hello
I created a shortcut for two programs and a cmd window that closes

cd /d I:\FirefoxPortable <------- location of the programs
start U96 <------- first program
start FirefoxPortable <------- second program
exit

I used the same thing and it seems good and compact to me.

@echo off

At the beginning of the .bat file
This way, the DOS window doesn't even open.

False, nothing is written in it! It still opens!

the syntax "exit" should be sufficient

Hi

I have the same problem, I run an executable from a .bat file but the DOS window stays open.
I tried what’s above but it doesn’t work, or maybe I typed my command line wrong. Could you please write the command line for me with the correct syntax just right? It's important, it's for a project!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

Hello

For my part, it works very well, thank you for this very valuable help!

For those for whom it doesn't work, here is the content of my *.bat file, if it can help you:

cd /d c:\hlserver
start hlds -console -game cstrike +port 27015 -nomaster -insecure +servercfgfile server.cfg
exit

You need to put "pause" in your bat file
Ex: CNEXT.exe -d "path"
pause

This will leave your command window open after running your .exe

Hello

To remove the message:

" press any key to continue "

you need to write:
" pause >nul "

at the end of each command that displays a message in the prompt, if you want to delete them, you need to add " >nul " after the command

IMPORTANT: you need to include a space, e.g.:
choice /c:ab >nul

maybe TASKKILL could be useful...
