How do i do this?

[master_lfs.5101]

How do I make a single batch file run all of my servers?

[bunder9999]

START c:\lfs\LFS.exe /cfg=cfgfile1.cfg
START c:\lfs\LFS.exe /cfg=cfgfile2.cfg
etc
etc

cheers

The START command isn't needed.

The START command isn't needed.

without them, wouldn't they run one after another, as opposed to all at the same time? :shrug:

i haven't written batch in years since i became a linux user. :thumb:

without them, wouldn't they run one after another, as opposed to all at the same time? :shrug:Yes. Traditional programs (i.e. non-forking (I've used the term forking quite liberally here, assume it means anything from an actual fork to a wrapper program)), such as LFS, do not return until they have finished executing. Since batch files work sequentially you cannot run a traditional program without using the start command.

Oh sorry for giving you wrong information then.

[master_lfs.5101]

k thanks. oh and do i need to start it with @echo off?

k thanks. oh and do i need to start it with @echo off?

no, echo is purely optional.

[Stefani24]

What does @echo do?

[master_lfs.5101]

ohh i learnt that in batch programming. All batch files have to start with @echo off

[bunder9999]

no they don't. :razz:

using @ hides the line from the screen during execution (essentially turning echo off for that line). "echo off" turns echoing off for the rest of the batch file.
