st4vr0s Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hello all, I'm trying to write a basic script that will open 4 cmd windows, ping 4 ip's and moves windows. For some reason as soon as the first enter is pressed mulitple CMD windows are opened. What am I missing here? CODERun ("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe") WinWait ("Administrator: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe") WinActivate ("Administrator: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe") WinWaitActive ("Administrator: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe") Send ("ping 192.168.0.250 -t") Sleep (500) Send ("{ENTER}") WinMove ("Administrator: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe - ping 192.168.0.250 -t", "", 0, 1) Run ("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe") Sleep (500) Send ("ping 192.168.1.250 -t") Sleep (500) Send ("{ENTER}") WinMove("Administrator: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe - ping 192.168.1.250 -t", "", 677, 1) Run ("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe") Sleep (500) Send ("ping 192.168.0.254 -t") Sleep (500) Send ("{ENTER}") WinMove("Administrator: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe - ping 192.168.0.254 -t", "", 0, 341) Run ("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe") Sleep (500) Send ("ping 192.168.1.254 -t") Sleep (500) Send ("{ENTER}") WinMove("Administrator: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe - ping 192.168.1.254 -t", "", 677, 341) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettF Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 AutoIt has Ping built native... Why not use that?

st4vr0s Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 AutoIt has Ping built native... Why not use that?Because I need it to display constant ping times in a Command prompt window for up to 30 minutes at a time.Do you know why it may keep opening a fresh window when it gets to the enter stage and only stops if I pause script?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillonlim Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I did something similar awhile back and I used AutoIt's native ping and this was what I came up with. Hope it helps. HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") $ip = InputBox("Ping Type Thing", "IP Address:", "", "", 200, 60) If @Error Then Exit Local $count = 0 Local $success = 0 $display = 'Pinging "' & $ip & '"' SplashTextOn("Ping Type Thing", $display, 650, 45, -1, 5, 48) While 1 $count = $count + 1 $pingresult = Ping($ip, 50) If $pingresult > "0" Then $success = $success + 1 EndIf $percentage = ($success / $count) * 100 $ppacketloss = 100 - $percentage ControlSetText("Ping Type Thing", "", "Static1", $display & ". " & $pingresult & " ms response time and " & Round($ppacketloss, 2) & "% packet loss.") Sleep(50) WEnd SplashOff() Func Terminate() Exit 0 EndFunc Because I need it to display constant ping times in a Command prompt window for up to 30 minutes at a time. Do you know why it may keep opening a fresh window when it gets to the enter stage and only stops if I pause script? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kardain Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 So this is 6 months after the fact, but your question was left unanswered, registered just to 1) provide a potential solution to your question and 2) thank dillonlim for an example to help "pretty up" a script I have on my machine for IP release/refresh.I was able to get AutoIT to move the windows into a grid pattern after altering your code slightly, which I am assuming was the goal. Note: I am using Win Vista...On all instances of WinMove, instead of using "Administrator: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe - ping 192.168.1.254 -t", I got it to work by reducing it to as follows (change numbers as required):WinMove("Administrator", "", 677, 341)End result (click for fullsize): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
