Hi Jacopo! your script works, but I think that more correct one will be: =============================================== echo off %~d0 set OFBIZ_HOME=%~p0..\ echo on cd %OFBIZ_HOME% "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -jar ofbiz.jar echo off ===============================================
wich produces: D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>tools\startofbiz.bat D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>echo off D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>cd \Java\workspace2\ofbiz\tools\..\ D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>REM "D:\Java\jdk1.6.0_29_i586\bin\java" -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -jar ofbiz.jar D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>echo off and D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz\tools>startofbiz.bat D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz\tools>echo off D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz\tools>cd \Java\workspace2\ofbiz\tools\..\ D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>REM "D:\Java\jdk1.6.0_29_i586\bin\java" -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -jar ofbiz.jar D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>echo off With yours, the cd command is pretty ugly (note the filename inline) even it works (not from another drive letter): D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>tools\startofbiz.bat D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>echo off D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>cd tools\startofbiz.bat\..\..\ D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>REM "D:\Java\jdk1.6.0_29_i586\bin\java" -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -jar ofbiz.jar D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>echo off Thats because %0 returns the script name but %~p0 returns the path portion of the command. Also note that I added one more line: %~d0 That is to ensure that it will work if called from a diferent drive letter (nothing to do on Linux): C:\Windows\System32>D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz\tools\startofbiz.bat C:\Windows\System32>echo off D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>cd \Java\workspace2\ofbiz\tools\..\ D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>REM "D:\Java\jdk1.6.0_29_i586\bin\java" -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -jar ofbiz.jar D:\Java\workspace2\ofbiz>echo off Someone else could test and report?
