I did try with pause during my previous attempts to get the .bat file
running and when it ran with no errors I tried the pause again, pressed
Enter and the window just closes and nothing happens.
Cmd.exe does still exist, it's just that when you run it the message is
displayed saying I can't use it, I have a degree in computer forensics and
so know the registry key to remove the restricted access, this only lasts
until a reboot occurs then I have to do it again - and if I'm honest it's
not very professional of me to be 'buggering about' with my work machine's
registry.
If I understand your proposed 'loop' method correctly, could I use that to
pass commands to my "t" program then do you think? or have the loop built
into the "t.py" script?
PAUSE in a batch file is run by CMD.EXE. So there is such a program,
and it is, at least to some degree, available.
How about a 3 line batch file
:labletop
cmd
pause
goto labeltop
If that cmd works, you'll have an unrestricted cmd window. if it
doesn't , you should write your own, more restricted, shell. And
replace cmd above with python myshell
(with appropriate cd's and suchlike)
The shell doesn't have to be too complex, just a raw_input() followed by
perhaps a split and some subprocess command.
But one of the advantages of having a standard shell running when you
start python is that if it crashes, you don't lose the window. The
pause would do that for you.
