call from command line syntax

[flowersr]

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:

http://support.attachmate.com/techdocs/2153.html

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

@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"
