I have a script that opens 2 git-bash terminals, but I also want to run 2 commands inside that script. Type of the file is .bat
cd "C:\Program Files\Git"
start git-bash.exe "--cd=C:\Homestead"
start git-bash.exe "--cd=C:\Users\user\Projects\first"
exit
I need a vagrant up and for the second one I need npm run watch. I tried to use echo but nothing happend.

I want to have a batch file that opens the command prompt, launches the iex shell within it and then starts my elixir program. The issue I'm having is that as soon as I invoke iex -S mix, which compiles the code and opens the elixir shell, then I am unable to write more commands into it.
:: Start iex and compile with mix
iex -S mix
:: Start elevators
Elevator.Supervisor.start
pause
The last part Elevator.Supervisor.start never runs, for some reason. I guess this is because I opened a shell within the command prompt. Is there a way to feed commands into the iex?
TL;DR use .iex.exs file which is loaded by iex upon start.
Create a file named .iex.exs in the project directory root with the content you want to be run:
Elevator.Supervisor.start()
remove any reference to elixir code (which is now located in .iex.exs) from your .bat file
run .bat file
enjoy.
I am creating a script and I need to run exe file and a command at the same time. What am I doing wrong?
CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\
START cmd.exe /T /C "jenkins.exe start"
The command line needs to be exactly as the following, otherwise it does not work:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins>jenkins.exe start
Thanks!
I don't quiet understand what you mean by saying you wan't to run an exe and a command at the same time. But if you wan't to start the jenkins.exe from your batch file, you can achieve this as follows:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\"
jenkins.exe start
alternatively, if you don't want the terminal to stay open as long as jenkins is running, you can use the following:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\"
start jenkins.exe start
I Want to invoke docker compose using bat file.I have tried to invoke using the following but its not executing the commands.
this is my .bat file
echo on
cd C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\
start start.sh cd desktop
cd test
docker-compose up
Is there any other way to execute docker commands using bat file.or any other file.
A batch file is a script file. A script needs an interpreter. For a batch file the interpreter is cmd.exe – the Windows command interpreter.
A *.sh file is also a script which needs an interpreter. The interpreter is on Unix/Linux systems sh, bash, ksh, ... which are also executables but without file extension .exe because on Unix/Linux executables usually do not have a file extension.
On Windows there is no interpreter installed by default for Unix/Linux shell scripts. If start start.sh works at all than because of having installed a shell interpreter on Windows which has been registered in Windows registry as application for opening *.sh files which means interpreting the commands in the shell script file by started application.
But commands in a batch script interpreted by cmd.exe and executed within a Windows command environment can't be executed in shell environment of the shell interpreter.
start start.sh starts a new process running parallel to the Windows command process created for execution of the batch file. The batch file processing immediately continues after this line with executing the next command in command process while the shell interpreter process interprets parallel the commands in start.sh.
So what you need here is a batch file which creates a shell script to call start.sh and executes other shell commands in shell environment by shell interpreter.
The batch code below might work. It is not tested by me as I don't have Docker Toolbox nor any shell interpreter installed on my Windows machine.
#echo off
set "ShellScriptFile=%TEMP%\%~n0.sh"
( echo start.sh
echo cd desktop/test
echo docker-compose up
) >"%ShellScriptFile%"
start "Docker Compose" /D"%ProgramFiles%\Docker Toolbox" /wait "%ShellScriptFile%"
del "%ShellScriptFile%"
set "ShellScriptFile="
For understanding the used commands and how they work, open a command prompt window, execute there the following commands, and read entirely all help pages displayed for each command very carefully.
call /? ... explains %~n0 (name of batch file without file extension and path)
del /?
echo /?
set /?
start /?
Read also the Microsoft article about Using Command Redirection Operators for an explanation of redirection operator > used here to create the shell script to execute with the 3 lines:
start.sh
cd desktop/test
docker-compose up
Those 3 lines are executed in the shell environment by shell script interpreter.
To run docker-compose via a bat file,
1. create a bat file eg run-docker-compose-up.bat
cd c:\docker
docker-compose up -d
pause
c:\docker is where I placed my docker-compose.yml
-d run containers in the background docker compose up docs
docker-compose must run as Administrator.
While a bat file itself cannot be marked as run as Administrator, you can either
right click on the bat file and choose 'Run as administrator'
or create a shortcut to the bat file and mark it as run as Administrator
(right click on shortcut, choose Properties, choose Advance, choose 'Run as administrator')
As I solved this problem, in a docker-compose case:
Go to your docker-compose.yml folder
On that, create a batchfile, such as: mydockerbatchfile.bat, using notepad (or other)
On this file, type your docker commands sequence', such as:
echo on
docker-compose down
docker container prune --force
docker system prune --volumes --force
docker image rm xxx/web-api
docker system df
docker image ls
pause
OBS: the commando pause will allow you check the results execution, in the screen)
Save -> make sure you saved in batch format/extension (mydockerbatchfile .bat)
In your windows desktop, create a ShortCut for the 'item 3 batch-file' (here - do not set the shortcut to "run as administrator")
I would like to write a bat script that runs simultaneously Unity, visual studio and git shell. I would like to make git shell change directory (it always start at default github's repositories location), but I can't figure how.
so far, I've got something like that:
echo off
d:
cd D:\<path>\Visual Studio\Common7\IDE
start .\devenv.exe "C:\<path>\solution.sln"
cd D:\<path>\Unity\Editor
start .\Unity.exe -projectPath "C:\<path>\project directory"
c:
cd C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\GitHub\
start .\GitHub.appref-ms --open-shell //and now i need to execute "cd ../my project" on it
When I start a batch file from another batch file, it just opens a new CMD window named just "TEST.bat", and doesn't run the actual batch. Running it manually works fine.
cd %~dp0\Colours\TEST.bat
start "TEST.bat"
I have tried many different ways to run the batch, but it all does the same thing. I've also tried to run the batch as administrator but same result again.
Full code(not finished): http://pastebin.com/GE8yJP0J
To run another batch file, use call not start. Also: cd expects a directory, not a filename.
cd "%~dp0\Colours"
call TEST.bat
