Commandline function

[FMS]

Hello,

I've made a GUI that can send multiple commands.
The way I'm doing this at the moment is whit "send" commands.
also first go to the right directory where the "to be used" program sits
And send from there the commandline argument whit parameters.

Here is a example of the way I'm using it now:

Func restart_app($xip)
   Run("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe")
   WinWaitActive("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe")
   Sleep(50)
   send("cd\" & "{ENTER}")
   Sleep(50)
   send("cd Tools" & "{ENTER}")
   Sleep(50)
   send("pskill \\" & $$xip & " -u username -p pass /accepteula app.exe" & "{ENTER}")
EndFunc

This way is working and I got no problems whit this.
Also I realy think there is a mush better and way to do the same and maybe a little bit less error free
(even better if this is hidden for the user :))
On this forum I could not find anything related to this subject (or I was not looking in the right direction) and hope somebody knows a better way

Is there a way where u can send the arguments and parameters directly in 1 line to the commandpromt whitout using "send" to commandprompt?

Thanks in advanced

ps: I also tried :

ShellExecute("pskill", "\\" & $xip & " -u username -p pass /accepteula app.exe")

But din't work

Try using comspec https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Snippets_(_CMD_)

Thanks , this was indeed what i was looking for.
For futher referense :
 

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /k " & "pskill \\" & $xip & " -u username -p pass /accepteula posclient.exe"  , "C:\tools",@SW_HIDE )

/k is for debugging....

Hi.

PSKILL.EXE does *NOT* need a @comspec shell to execute,

And " /k " instead of " /c " just doesn't exit the comspec shell after the called program terminated.

 

Regards, Rudi.

Good luck:

Func _PsKill($AppName, $IP = "", $Uname = "", $PassWord = "")
    If StringStripWS($AppName, 8) = "" Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    Local $sCommand, $PsKillEXE = @ScriptDir & "\pskill.exe"
    If $IP <> "" Then $sCommand &= " \\" & $IP
    If $Uname <> "" Then $sCommand &= ' -u ' & $Uname & ''
    If $PassWord <> "" Then $sCommand &= ' -p "' & $PassWord & '"'
    $sCommand &= " /accepteula " & $AppName
;~  RunWait('"' & $PsKillEXE & '" ' & $sCommand, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)
    ShellExecute($PsKillEXE, $sCommand, @ScriptDir, "", @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc   ;==>_PsKill
