SMS: Batch File Program on Windows 9x Not Closing Command Window (215032)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q215032 SUMMARY
Batch file programs, executing on Microsoft Windows 95-based and on Microsoft Windows 98-based computers, may not close the MS-DOS Prompt window if the batch file was not called with a 'command /c' prefix.
This causes the Advertised Program Manager (APM) to think the program is still running, which then prevents the APM from running other advertised programs until the MS-DOS Prompt is manually closed.
When distributing batch file programs to Windows 9x clients, the following syntax should be used for the Command line:
command /c batchfile.bat
