Yes, it's a normal behavior. dir is not a stand-alone application, it's an internal command of the command prompt, cmd.exe.


Thanks Sean, I thought it just does not work.
Are there any other commands that need cmd /K prefix?
Can you automate it in your function? So if a command fails cmd /k is added automatically, so it works same as in cmd?
Does it make sense?

Just type Help in the command prompt, then you'll get a list of commands.

Although it seems to make sense, I'm not sure if it'll not have any side effect.

So as far as I understand I can try to add "cmd /K " to any command to make sure it'll always work, right?

You're right, although I don't recommend it. If you insist to use it, however, you may perfer /c to /k.

It's not a crash, it'll just execute ExitApp if failed to create a process as it's pointless to keep running then.


Ah ok I see. Well, I d'ont like my app to exit when one function call fails ;)
Fortunatly, this can easily be changed :)


So, could we say that it is safe to simply replace that "ExitApp" with "Return" ?
Does this have side effects ?

No problem if you do clean-up yourself: CloseHandle all the created anonymous pipe handles.

They are now simply alternatives. You can use whatever you prefer.

This has nothing to do with the script. You just have to properly enclose the parameters containing spaces in quotes.

yep that's why I didn't want to de-rail this thread. But I'm glad you took a look as you found the misplaced " for me! Thanks.

Hej Sean if you are still watching.

I modified function to support ExitCode (via ErrorLevel as usual) and made some trivial changes (changed func name and slightly param names and order so its more similar to Run command)

I also made formal documentation.

I will prolly add some more features when time comes to it, like injection of environment variables, and option not to block script (like Run command does).

Cheers and thx again for this awesomeness.

Function
Documentation

Thanks. Regarding ExitCode, I had prepared the following code, however, never needed to add it.
Code:
While   DllCall("GetExitCodeProcess", "Uint", hProcess, "UintP", nExitCode) && nExitCode=259
{
   Sleep,   300
   If   A_Index = 10
   {
      DllCall("TerminateProcess", "Uint", hProcess, "Uint", 0)
      Break
   }
}

 Post subject: Noob questions..
PostPosted: July 7th, 2009, 7:02 am 
Two noob questions..

1. The ExitApp problem, i dont want my app to exit.. any help

Code:
   If Not   DllCall("CreateProcess", "Uint", 0, "Uint", &sCmd, "Uint", 0, "Uint", 0, "int", True, "Uint", 0x08000000, "Uint", 0, "Uint", sDir ? &sDir : 0, "Uint", &si, "Uint", &pi)   ; bInheritHandles and CREATE_NO_WINDOW
      ExitApp


2. What is best, as i am going to distribute the script that calls Rasdial.exe

- RASDIAL "%connection%" /disconnect
OR
- %comspec% /c RASDIAL "%connection%" /disconnect

Thanks..
