Isn't there an option called "Close on exit" that you have to keep unticked on the command prompt window?

found it :D

you just type in pause at the end of the command.

run the batch file from the command prompt?

My MS Dos For Dummies book has nothing in there :( *Results to searching the internet* :lol:

yeah u can steve. but you can also type it out in notepad and then save the file as a .bat. when run, it then runs those commands. but the window closes straight after unlike if you manually type the commend into the dos prompt

how do you mean?

surely you can just type cmd at the run command and run the batch file from dos that way?

Ok well if it helps I found this code

:remote
at \\%Node% %ti% /interactive "%LO%"
goto errorlevel
:0
echo Job completed: %node% >> c:\logs\batch.log
goto :EOF
:1
echo Job Failed: %node% >> c:\logs\batch.log
goto :EOF

That makes the batch file write to the path above.

My supervisor tells me to use MS Dos. She's the boss so i'm gonna use that :lol:

I pretty much know how to do it, just the .bat file closes after it has done the job and i want it to stay open so i can see everything in there.

Can't you get it to write to a log file? :look:

Stab in the dark there, not overly clued up on batch files.

Writting a batch file to mirror my website to my hard drive.

How do i keep the MS Dos window open so i can see the errors?
