pinout Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 if you quote the command or pathname, you have to use START ""look at START /?START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/sEPARATE | /SHARED] [/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL] [/WAIT] [command/program] [parameters]if you do START /WAIT "command" its going to think "command" is the titlethats why you have to do START "" /WAIT "command"seems strange, but thats the way it has to be done if you want to quote the commandbut you are right, you can do a START /WAIT longpath\command, without having to quote it.. but you can run into problems.. for example if you are trying to execute an exe named setup.exe, it will run setup.exe in system32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[BM]Crusher Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 interesting... must be that i've never quoted things i'm running i always make sure i don't have long path names for my unattend disks to avoid any such confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
