Jed, I just lunched a batch file and exe successfully without terminating the console as follows
"e": "C:\Data\batches\runandpause.bat", T: "notepad.exe" In fact run and pause did everything, in the console window echo off echo Hi dir c:\ C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K pause Notepad.exe echo any key to end pause So there is something causing some scripts to terminate Bob not others I will investigate, I expect we need to "spawn" a Windows command interpreter rather than execute it in Bobs one if we want to avoid the catastrophic failures. Now I have progress. Thanks Tony On Friday, May 25, 2018 at 11:02:30 AM UTC+10, Jed Carty wrote: > > Maybe try adding & to the end of the command?
