RE: Does anyone know how to invoke a bash process via a dos batch program so commands after bash execute?


The problem isn't calling bash. I can call bash without a problem. The
problem is that I call bash then it executes bash and gives me a prompt
and then stops. It does not run any commands after executing bash.
Whether I run bash.bat or bash.exe.

Thanks again for your help.

If "call bash" works, it implies that the "bash" that the batch file is
calling is really "bash.bat".  Do you have one of those in your path?
If so, changing "bash" to "bash.exe" will also work, assuming that you
do not need what is in "bash.bat".

You want CALL

Call batch2.bat

'bash' is a red herring in this case. Try this:

batch1.bat:
REM This is batch1.bat
batch2.bat test
echo back from batch2.bat
exit

batch2.bat:
REM this is batch2.bat
echo %1
echo bash
echo %1

When I execute batch1.bat in a DOS window, I never get the echo back
from batch2.bat. Notice I removed the exit from batch2.bat. Methinks
that invoking batch2.bat replaces the current process (in UNIX speak) so
that the rest of batch1.bat is never executed.

And now that I have shown this thread to have no Cygwin content
whatsoever, I think it is time to end it. Or else, we're flame-bait for
sure.
