File should be named with a 'type' of .bat test the process by starting a command window (start run cmd ) and then go to the directory/location where you have that file and enter the filename as if it were a command
or - use the pause command at the end ( and optionally at the start, and between the commands) to stop the processing of the command stream so you can see any displayed results Note the release and renew may want a pause after each of them to allow for the OS to complete the processing associated with those commands Also - you may want to post any response/output from the commands to a logfile in which case to perhaps put the output to a file called whateverthisis.txt in the location (directory) in which the batch file is, try (without the JimB): ipconfig.exe /release > whateverthisis.txt ipconfig.exe /renew >> whateverthisis.txt type whateverthisis.txt pause press a letter key to close this window JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Guritzky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 9:49 PM Subject: Re: Batch file on the desktop > What does a file have to look like when I want it to issue two commands. > Like I want to make a .bat file that does the followinig: > ipconfig /release > ipconfig /renew > Thanks, Jerry. > > -- > ---------------------------------------- > The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned > LISTSERV(R) list management software.
