Automated running .bat with commands

Question

I have a automated.bat with the following lines:

cd C:\Users\user\Downloads\megatools-1.9.97-win64\megatools-1.9.97-win64\
megacmd.bat
megals /Root --username [e-mail] --password password
megamkdir /Root/testmake2 --username [e-mail] --password password

It will happily say the megacmd.bat is Megatools Shell, but then it won't excecute the commands that follow.

I figured it might be because the megacmd.bat is in a different programming language, hence the incomming commands aren't valid.

So I tried to fit it all in 1 line with:

cd C:\Users\a\Downloads\megatools-1.9.97-win64\megatools-1.9.97-win64\
megacmd.bat & megals /Root --username [e-mail] --password password & megamkdir /Root/testmake2 --username [e-mail] --password password

but that didn't do anything with the commands either so I also tried:

cd C:\Users\a\Downloads\megatools-1.9.97-win64\megatools-1.9.97-win64\
megacmd.bat & "megals /Root --username [e-mail] --password password" & "megamkdir /Root/testmake2 --username [e-mail] --password password"

And

cd C:\Users\a\Downloads\megatools-1.9.97-win64\megatools-1.9.97-win64\
megacmd.bat "megals /Root --username [e-mail] --password password" & "megamkdir /Root/testmake2 --username [e-mail] --password password"

And

cd C:\Users\a\Downloads\megatools-1.9.97-win64\megatools-1.9.97-win64\
megacmd.bat megals /Root --username [e-mail] --password password & megamkdir /Root/testmake2 --username [e-mail] --password password

But I can't seem to get the syntax right. What would be the command to have the megacmd.bat run and execute the above 2 commands consecutively?

Answer 1

your line

megacmd.bat

starts megacmd.bat and gives control to it. It never returns to your automated.bat.

You should

call megacmd.bat

to return control to your first .bat after megacmd.bat finishes.
