greetings :) i am trying to run a 32-bit self-running GUI application from the start command inside of a .CMD file. the help topic for the START command states:

"When executing an application that is a 32-bit GUI application, CMD.exe does not wait for the application to terminate before returning to the command prompt. This new behavior does NOT occur if executing within a command script."

im wondering what i am doing incorrectly. i thought the .CMD extension made it a command script. my command looks like:

START /WAIT TEST.exe

the command runs fine, it just doesnt wait. is a command script something totally different? any ideas or thoughts would be much appreciated.

thank you.

garritt

Why not put this in a scheduled AT command, then your script could run a time xx

Just a thought
