Prevent console crash

[Ed Dyreen]

☺
This is the command I use to prevent the console from closing on a syntax error:

Code: Select all

start "TST_noterm" "%COMSPEC%" /k "tst.CMD"

I've noticed this is not enough, the console still crashes on a logical error.
Is there anything that can be done about this, so I don't have to guess what went wrong ?

I tried your code but it crashed Chrome and Folding@Home... How am I supposed to implement this?

It's a question nitt, not an implementation. This works for XP:

Code: Select all

start "Title" "%COMSPEC%" /k "mybatch.???"

I simply start a new instance of cmd with the stay resident option /k, see cmd /? for help.
But the console still crashes on a logical error

Can you give an example of a logical error?

I mean like buffer overflow, I'm not very good in english so maybe i'm not expressing myself correctly. When using the push any string over endlocal technique with a string that is too big, the console will crash, even with the /k option
