Re: how to run a .bat or .cmd file from bash prompt


cmd /c batch_file [arguments ...]

This is such an original idea. I wish the Unix shell had something like that.

-c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c - c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c -c

C:>mybat.bat or C:\>mycmd.cmd

In other words, I have to type two commands (one to get to the shell,
and another to run the .bat or .cmd file).

What I want is to write a shell script (bash), that will cd to a
directory, enter the dos cmd prompt and execute a .bat file and then
return to my bash shell.

I do not know if this is possible, have tried many things, but nothing
works.

thanks
