Hello,
I used to add "EXIT" command at the end of my CMD scripts.
1. Is it good or bad ?

Here is bellow a CMD/BAT script launcher (Launcher.cmd).
It works fine but, if the selected launched script contains the EXIT command, the launcher process is killed (too) by this command. So, I cannot launch another script ;((

2. Is this the only way to solve my problem: "Just remove the EXIT command in all scripts" ?

3.1. Can WScript language do all or almost DOS language can do?
3.2. Do you know a WScript language tutorial/reference web site?
Thanks and regards

Windows Help:

Quits the CMD.EXE program (command interpreter) or the current batch
script.

EXIT [/B] [exitCode]

/B specifies to exit the current batch script instead of
CMD.EXE. If executed from outside a batch script, it
will quit CMD.EXE

exitCode specifies a numeric number. if /B is specified, sets
ERRORLEVEL that number. If quitting CMD.EXE, sets the process
exit code with that number.

so i recommend using exit /b
