I want to have a batch file(must be placed on desktop) which does the following;

  • opens cmd
  • navigates to a directory, e.g. C:\activiti-5.9\setup
  • runs a command within the directory, e.g. ant demo.start (this command runs the activiti server)

I tried the following to reach to the directory but how to run command, "ant demo.start"?

START cmd.exe /k "cd C:\activiti-5.9\setup"

Thank you for the help.

EDIT:

Referring to zb226’s answer below: One more question if you can answer me is how to make that cmd to be run as administrator? will the following work?

START cmd /K "runas /user:administrator & cd C:\activiti-5.9\setup & ant demo.start"

    For me, the following is working and running activiti server as well as opening the explorer in browser (with the help of zb226’s answer and comment);

    START "runas /user:administrator" cmd /K "cd C:\activiti-5.9\setup & ant demo.start"

    START /wait localhost:8080/activiti-explorer
