I wonder if I can execute some programs for different cmd’s using .bat file. Look at this example .bat file:

start cmd //number one
start cmd //number two

ping localhost //call in number one
ping 192.168.1.100 //call in number two

I know that both will be executed in main window (the window where I started .bat file), but I think its easy to get the idea. This code is quite useless, but its just an example.

Thanx for all replies.

EDIT: I know about /k switch, but any way to do this not using it?

    You can start your commands with

    start cmd /k ping localhost
start cmd /k ping 192.168.1.100

    That will start two new command line prompts, run the ping command in each one seperately and both windows and the /k switch will make them stay open afterwards.

    Ah, posted before your edit … 😉 The only way to interact with a shell is giving it a command to be executed when it starts. There is no way to have interaction between shells
