G'Day Folks,

In a cmd prompt in Win2K, entering:
ping 192.168.100.2
will see the the command repeating itself and making the screen continuously scroll, with no output.

However, I have a shortcut pointing to:
%windir%\System32\cmd.exe /k c:\ping.bat
which contains:
ping 192.168.100.2

How do I get a normal cmd window to run a command once only?

Hi,

Put the full path to the ping command into the bat file... eg...

e:\windows\system32\ping 192.168.0.1
pause

Make this, the bat file and it will work.

Cheers,
Tim.
