Hi,

I want use a BAT file to start an automated session that has a macro in it so I created a bat file with one only line as:

Extra.exe /h "1.1.1.1" /s "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Attachmate\EXTRA!\sessions" /m "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Attachmate\EXTRA!\macros\a3ptpx_HH.ebm"

When I run it I momentarily get the splash screen and then it ends.

Obviously the IP address listed is not the real one. Is a TCP port required for the "/h" parameter. I am guessing NOT as I can double-click the session icon and everything runs fine.

The session filename is:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Attachmate\EXTRA!\sessions\a3ptpx_HH.edp

The macro filename is:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Attachmate\EXTRA!\macros\a3ptpx_HH.ebm

The session a3ptpx_HH.edp is configured to start the macro a3ptpx_HH.ebm

I would think that all I would need to do is call the session not the macro. Can anyone tell me the proper syntax. What I used above I found at:


I searched the forum for "command line" but found nothing.

Thanks for looking,
Rich
 
Hi,

Has no one had any experience in calling an Attachmate session from the command line?

.bat
Code:
@echo off
start /D"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Attachmate\EXTRA!\sessions" a3ptpx_HH.edp
sleep 3
ebrun.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Attachmate\EXTRA!\macros\a3ptpx_HH.ebm"
