Subject: Running batch files and closing the dos box while they're running |
Comment: Hi,
I've written a program to run some servers (in java) and a batch file to run this program. How do I get the batch file to start the java program, and then close the dos box, leaving the java program still running? thanks!

Reply: (edit)If it can be assures that the ANSI.SYS driver is not loaded and/or that
the background color of the window is black, then just add these two
commands at the end of the procedure ...
cls
@exit
BTW, a colored background is considered non-blank (set via an ANSI
string). If the desire is to be iron clad, even when ANSI.SYS is
loaded, use ... for %%v in ("prompt $e[m" "echo on" cls) do %%v
@exit
Regardless of the status of the display, checking the 'Close on exit'
selection on the Program tab of a shortcut to the batch procedure will
ALWAYS cause the window to close.

Reply: (edit)Seems it would be easier to make the Java program a desktop ICON. Or make the batch file a desktop ICON and select "PROGRAM" tab , "CLOSE ON EXIT".
