humbletech99 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 does anybody know how to execute a command in batch and for that command to go into the background so you can do something like:longcommand1longcommand2longcommand2longcommand3so that I end up with 4 simultaneous processes running?basically, I want the unix equivalent of &. The cmd prompt should come straight back before the process has finished working... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Depends on the commands, what are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Check out this page, under the heading "Using multiple commands and conditional processing symbols", they have some very useful conditional operators and I think its the closest your gonna get. Windows as far as I know, doesn't have anything like unix deamon support. Many programs give arguments that will allow you to do this, but nothing universal unless you use a 3rd party app. Multitasking support my ass huhhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...w.mspx?mfr=trueYou can also schedule commands/programs to run in the background, like this "AT 09:15 regedit.exe".
