How to automatically close cmd window after batch

问题:

I'm running a batch file that has these two lines:

start C:\Users\Yiwei\Downloads\putty.exe -load "MathCS-labMachine1"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming\Xming.exe" :0 -clipboard -multiwindow

This batch file is used to run the Xming application and then the PuTTY app so I can SSH into my university's computer lab.

However, if I run this and Xming is not already open, once I exit from the PuTTY terminal the cmd window remains open. Only if I have already run Xming does the cmd window close when I close the PuTTY terminal. I've tried adding exit to the last line of the batch file, but to no avail.

回答1:

Modify the batch file to START both programs, instead of STARTing one and CALLing another

start C:\Users\Yiwei\Downloads\putty.exe -load "MathCS-labMachine1"
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming\Xming.exe" :0 -clipboard -multiwindow

If you run it like this, no CMD window will stay open after starting the program.

For the newbies watching:-

• You normally end a batch file with a line that just says exit

*If you want to make sure the file has run and for the DOS window to close after 2 seconds you can add the lines:

timeout 2 >nul

exit

• But .... the exit command will not work if your batch file opens another window - because while ever the second window is open the old DOS window will also be displayed.

SOLUTION: For example there's a great little free progeam called BgInfo which will display all the info there is about your computer. Assume it's in a directory called C:\BgInfo. To run it from a batch file with the "/popup" switch ..... AND for the DOS window to close afterwards while it still runs, use:

start "" "C:\BgInfo\BgInfo.exe" /popup

exit

This worked for me. I just wanted to close the command window automatically after exiting the game. I just double click on the .bat file on my desktop. No shortcuts.

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
C:\"GOG Games"\Starcraft\Starcraft.exe
start explorer.exe
exit /B

Add this code at the end of the execution code

c:\windows>exit

回答5:

You could try the somewhat dangerous: taskkill /IM cmd.exe ..dangerous bcz that will kill the cmd that is open and any cmd's opened before it.

Or add a verification to confirm that you had the right cmd.exe and then kill it via PID, such as this:

set loc=%time%%random%
title=%loc%
for /f "tokens=2 delims= " %%A in ('tasklist /v ^| findstr /i "%loc%"') do (taskkill /PID %%A) 

Substitute (pslist &&A) or (tasklist /FI "PID eq %%A") for the (taskkill /PID %%A) if you want to check it first (and maybe have pstools installed).

If you want to separate the commands into one command per file, you can do

cmd /c start C:\Users\Yiwei\Downloads\putty.exe -load "MathCS-labMachine1"

and in the other file, you can do

cmd /c start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming\Xming.exe" :0 -clipboard -multiwindow

The command cmd /c will close the command-prompt window after the exe was run.

I had this, I added EXIT and initially it didn't work, I guess per requiring the called program exiting advice mentioned in another response here, however it now works without further ado - not sure what's caused this, but the point to note is that I'm calling a data file .html rather than the program that handles it browser.exe, I did not edit anything else but suffice it to say it's much neater just using a bat file to access the main access pages of those web documents and only having title.bat, contents.bat, index.bat in the root folder with the rest of the content in a subfolder.

i.e.: contents.bat reads

cd subfolder
"contents.html"
exit

It also looks better if I change the bat file icons for just those items to suit the context they are in too, but that's another matter, hiding the bat files in the subfolder and creating custom icon shortcuts to them in the root folder with the images called for the customisation also hidden.
