I am trying to execute a .bat file from a command line inside an automation program. I have written a .bat file that works when double clicked but the automation app will not execute the file.
Is there a command that can be included in the .bat file to make it execute when the automation program calls it up? Here is the .bat file I wrote:
[LITE BOX HI (BOTH LOW & MEDIUM) - ON]
cd..
cd..
cd C:\denkovi\drcltjarorg\
java -jar denkovirelaycommandlinetool.jar DAE001x0 8 4 1
java -jar denkovirelaycommandlinetool.jar DAE001x0 8 6 1
Thanks for any ideas.

First try adding "pause" to the bottom of the BAT script to see if there are any errors.
Also verify if the path of the executable you are calling is in the PATH variable for the computer.
Make sure the relevant JAR's are in the correct directory.

I'm trying to get a bat file together and not sure how to run multiple cmd lines through the .bat.
Objective: I want to be able to click on this .bat file to open cmd prompt, then to find a "folder" in the directory, rename the "Folder" then move the location of the folder then find a existing Folder and put it in the same directory.
Problem: i know how to run these cmds in the prompt without an issues.
So far this is what i have:
#echo off
start cmd.exe /k cd %AppData%\Microsoft\Network\Connections
#echo off
and then just write your commands its that simple
A .bat file is executed in a terminal window automatically, you don't need to call cmd.exe or anything like that.
Every single line you write in the .bat file is going to be executed one by one, so you just need to write multiple lines with all the instructions and then you can double click on your new file to run the script.
If you are not familiar with Windows commands for the terminal, you can find more info on the web about how to find a folder, rename it, etc. There are many things you can do by command line and this is not the right place to explain how to use them.
Currently am executing a program from command prompt, basically a Python command, but I want that to be automated so that the program runs the latest version of the files before the program starts.
So current program is run by saying:
python c:\program\mysoftwareUI.py
mysoftwareUI.py is present in folder that constantly is provided with updates
Now I want to write a batch file with the above command but before that also SVN command that updates the folder before the actual program is run.
How can I do this?
Create a .bat file script and place it into a directory that is in the PATH variable or the current working directory.
=== doit.bat
#ECHO OFF
PUSHD "c:\program"
svn up
python c:\program\mysoftwareUI.py
POPD
EXIT /B
I have a few applications that I am trying to deploy with SCCM 2012 but the installations are failing through the application catalog. So what I have for the deployment type is a script installer. I have "cmd.exe" (Without quotations) in the Installation program field and "Installer.bat" in the installation start in field.
When I look at the ccmcache folder, all the contents over that application are there but the following error displays the Software Center:
0x8007010B(-217024629)
I have done some reading online and the "10B" is a common command line error for invalid directory. I have tested the batch file when hard coding a path but my question is, how can I edit the batch file or SCCM to pull from the CCMCache path where the files are downloaded to on the local client? Currently the Batch File is simply:
#echo off
ApplicationName.exe
Do I need to edit the file to cd into the CCMCache folder where the files are placed? How can I get the batch file to run the executable that is downloaded to the CCMCache folder?
Thank You!
You need to have the full path to the installation in your script
#echo Off
\\path to .exe
The way the command is written will not be able to find the .exe file. You need to add the full unc path to the .exe into your .cmd file. You should have your installation .exe and .cmd file in the same location on the distribution share
Recommended Solution:
Before starting, since you are only launching an exe with your batch file, I would recommend just using your ApplicationName.exe as your command line parameter in SCCM instead of using a batch. This will eliminate the need to engineer any further.
Modifying the existing solution to work:
If you do still want to use a batch file, keep a few things in mind. The syntax you are using to launch the batch file will not work. I would recommend just using the batch file name "installer.bat" as your command line. If you still want to preface the batch with the cmd.exe, you absolutely need to use the /c switch with it
cmd.exe /c installer.bat
If you don't use /c the console host will only open to a promopt and not execute your batch.
This is not an ideal solution though because using "cmd.exe /c" will set your working directory to the location of cmd.exe (ie "C:\windows\system32") and since your content is staged in ccmcache, you will need to specify its location within your batch. To do this, you would use %~dp0 variable which gives you the directory the current batch is running from. This means modifying your batch to read
#echo off
%~dp0ApplicationName.exe
I have three commands that should be executed in a batch file. When I execute them manually, I don't have any problems, but in a .bat file, they don't work anymore...
First, a python virtual environment should start. Second, a python script should be executed. And last but not least: an mbedded webbrowser should be started.
The commands below work well while manually-executed, but not in the batch fil I created.
I have to following code in my batch file:
#echo off
dikopy\scripts\activate
python system\www\index.py
system\phpdesktop-chrome
What is wrong here? How can I make it work?
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
