ending a DOS shell after execution Hi everyone. I am using VB to front-end some DOS operations, including XCOPY.
The problem I have is, after the operations are done, I am left with the
DOS window, it says the program is ended, but I want the dos window to go
away.
The program creates, then runs a batch file "xxx.bat" via shell
Every time the timer runs again, I get another shell window left
open--clearly this will consume resources on the server.
Can someone give me a DOS command that will get rid of the shell or else
tell me another way to take care of the problem?
Thanks,
Matthew Cromer

Hello Mathew Dim cmd as string
cmd = environ$("COMSPEC") & " /c"
cmd = cmd & "yourfile.bat"
shell cmd
the comspec part reurns either command.com (95) or cmd.exe (NT)
the /c csues the dos app to close on completion
best wishes, Murray

ending a DOS shell after execution As long as your using a batch file just make CLS the last line. Quote:

ending a DOS shell after execution Do you have to see the result of that operations? If don't, try this. Shell "YourBatchFile", vbHide

Thanks Murray, that worked. Can someone tell me what it does? I don't know what environ$ is.
Thanks.

ending a DOS shell after execution environ$ is an (system) environment variable..... Quote:

The problem with this is, it leaves a dos window behind every time the timer backs up the files, so you quickly get hundreds of dos windows eating system resources. Matthew

That doesn't work if your system is not set up for 'Close on Exit' by
Cls Since 'Close on Exit' is assumed if the end screen display is completely
blank. You can also control it via the Shell call with something like:
x=Shell(Environ$("comspec") & " /c mybatfile myargs",vbNormalFocus)
The Environ$ function makes it work for both 95 & NT and the /c causes it to
run the one command line and then close.
