Master BAT Script

[Milleniumlegend]

I would like to know how to start other batch scripts from a single batch Scripts.

I have 16 Scripts in total that starts up the server and does various things. I would like to know if it is possible to call other batch scripts from one master script.

Many Thanks
Aaron

Use "call".

Eg.,

@echo off
REM This is the main batch file
REM It calls all the other batch files
call Batch1.bat
call Batch2.bat
REM The end!

The dumber they think you are, the more surprised they'll be when you kill them!

Place alll the .bat files in a directory. Your Master.bat would then be:

cd /d C:\your_directory\path
for %%i in (*.bat) do call %%i

Thanks guys. Will try this out.
Does it also allows us to check if the script executed successfully or not.

Your Master.bat would then be:

@echo off
cd /d C:\your_directory\path
for %%i in (*.bat) do call %%i
echo "Your Master batch file ran to conclusion on "&%%DATE
pause
