I'm trying to execute multiple commands without create a new process each time. Basically, I want to start the DOS command shell, switch to the MySQL command shell, and execute a command. Here's how I am calling the procedure (also below). Also, how do I handle the "\"'s in the command?
ExecuteCommand("mysql --user=root --password=sa casemanager", 100, false);
ExecuteCommand(@"\. " + Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"\MySQL\CaseManager.sql", 100, true);
private void ExecuteCommand(string Command, int Timeout, Boolean closeProcess)
{
ProcessStartInfo ProcessInfo;
Process Process;
ProcessInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "/C " + Command);
ProcessInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
ProcessInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
Process = Process.Start(ProcessInfo);
Process.WaitForExit(Timeout);
if (closeProcess == true) { Process.Close(); }
}
Couldn't you just write all the commands into a .cmd file in the temp folder and then execute that file?
