#114370 - 2004-02-19 01:27 PM Open a 2nd cmd prompt
AndyD AndyD Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-11-26 Posts: 17	I have searched but cannot find so must ask..... I use wkix32.exe to launch my script so as not to get a command prompt popping up and then disappearing. BUT during my script I want to pop up a new comand prompt with a "ping x.x.x.x -t" command running....but I cannot fathom out how to get one to open. You guys rock....please tell me it can be done _________________________ AndyD England, UK.

AndyD AndyD Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-11-26 Posts: 17	mmm....this appears to be the only way I can do it.... Run '%COMSPEC% /e:1024 /c pingout.bat ' + $routerip and pingout.bat is start /MAX ping -t %1 Oh well....works for me Thnx 4 ur help. PS. The bit I had missed out in all my testing was the /e:1024 to get some extra environment space ! :rolleyes: Although according to XP (cmd /?) the /E flag is either ON or OFF for command extensions !? _________________________ AndyD England, UK.

If you want the code & sample ini file let me know and I'll email them.

AndyD AndyD Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-11-26 Posts: 17	Ooh I have a monsta script....including KixForms. It has an ini file as a database of nearly 100 servers we monitor, it pulls logs from them and produces a report of what update state each server is in etc. Includes an editor for the ini file....but my style of scripting is seriously rough and ready....no prizes for style Thnx for all the hints and pointers. _________________________ AndyD England, UK.

Quote: or perhaps your email doesn't let you know when one arrives ? Yes, it doesn. However it's nice to get a reminder that there's a useful message in the inbox among the hundreds of more or less useful messages that one receives durign a normal day (not counting SPAM). Anyway, why do you care anyway, as the notice was not directed towards you? _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	mortal user, ja. you should filter. you see, the mods do have their own mind and those minds are not similar and they tend to do weird stuff. user can do nothing but accept that or not accept but then he might face the wrath so... what was the topic anyways? oh and the second cmd-prompt... you could try other than kixtart run or shell. I've complained about this stuff earlier but as wkix32.exe users are still pretty rare, my voice doesn't get heard on this subject. you could try with shell-execute (as used in http://www.gwspikval.com/jooel/UDF/udf/83022.htm ) _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	This is Andy's topic and he has every right to complain when Kent hijaaks it for not-so-private messaging. It has nothing to do with being a moderator except that mods should lead by example. The board's private messaging works very well, even if email notification is disabled. There is a flashing envelope that appears in the board's nav menu. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Sheesh.. I am confused.. Wait a sec.. Richard offered to give a copy of the monitor to people that wrote in e-mail in the open forum. If it is a transgression to confirm that I ask him for a copy, then I am sorry. I guess I will keep these things to myself. Or, rather in the pm. Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's
