Batch file does not continue running commands

[falcios]

I'm testing this sample batch file using the /k switch

cmd.exe /k winver
pause

However, once it runs winver it is back to the command prompt. How do I setup batch file to continue processing commands?

Thanks in advance.

That is a loaded question. You need to better explain what your real task is and why you think you need to use CMD /k.
Because you seem to want to use CMD /K, this would be your only option.

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
cmd.exe /k "winver &exit"
PAUSE

So you need to explain why you wouldn't just run this?

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
cmd.exe /c "winver"
PAUSE

Or this

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
winver
PAUSE

Thanks Squashman, it worked great.
