@ComSpec Console

[Nunos]

I have a batch file that runs some cmds and I am trying to get it converted into AutoIT so it can be compiled to an EXE. A couple of the cmds I don't understand how they work so I was trying to break them into two separate batch files and call them from within AutoIt. 

Attached are the two batch files and below is the script.

FileInstall("C:\MDStop.bat", @ScriptDir & "\MDStop.bat", 1)
FileInstall("C:\MDStart.bat", @ScriptDir &"\MDStart.bat", 1)

Local $iPID = Runwait(@ComSpec & ' /K "' & @ScriptDir & '\MDStop.bat"', "", @SW_SHOW)
ProcessClose($iPID)
Sleep(3000)
Local $sPID = RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /K "' & @ScriptDir & '\MDStart.bat"', "", @SW_SHOW)
ProcessClose($sPID)
Sleep(3000)

The problem I am having is that both of the cmd console windows stay open after the script is finished.  Not sure what I am missing or if there is a better way to run the information in the two batch files so I can dump them?

MDStart.bat

MDStop.bat

Use "/c" rather than "/k"

Thought your batch files would be more complicated, why don't you just use:

Local $iPID
$iPID = Runwait(@ComSpec & ' /c c:\posera\maitred\prg\srvman.exe /fc:\posera\maitred\data\bo.ini /x30187 /ac256 /al0', "", @SW_SHOW)
ProcessClose($iPID)
Sleep(3000)
$iPID = RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c c:\posera\maitred\prg\srvman.exe /fc:\posera\maitred\data\bo.ini /x30176 /ac256 /al0 /y', "", @SW_SHOW)
ProcessClose($iPID)
Sleep(3000)

Thank you I forgot all about that.

I will give that a go tonight when I get home from work and let you know if it works. Thank you,

I get an error from the Maitre'D program that says User Not have Menu Order Access I am not sure what this is and also the two cmd consoles stay open blank but I think that can be closed by changing the @SW_Show to @SW_HIDE.

 

Not sure what to make of the user access error though.
