Command.com doesn't call Autoexec.bat on each invocation. Neither the executing autoexec.bat will result in command.com invocation. (unless of-course the autoexec.bat file calls the command.com). During boot-up it these files are called sequentially. And not from one another. But by fiddling with the .pif file for the command.com ( in windows) can call any specified batch file on invocation of command.com >Just curisoity >I thought command.com invoked autoexec.bat. > Can a DOS guru confirm? - P Asokan >On Sat, 1 Jul 2000, Rohit wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > does it mean that we can't start a shellscript in a child shell > > automatically (as against manually) at the time of creating the shell? > > (something like "autoexec.bat" in dos) > Sorry for a very late response.
