Running DOS command from a different directory 1

[bonebonde]

Hi,
I wanna run a command colled collector.bat for my WebSphere Application Server.

The command is in the foollowing path C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer\bin

and I want to run it from C:\PortalWorks

What I do is: C:\PortalWorks>C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\collector.bat

I get a message that 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external program

Could someone out there please help?

Thanks

you cant put a space in dos silly...

use progra~1 instead of program files or something with "s

I agree the space issue is a problem, but why not add to your path statement C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\?

right-click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, and click Environmental Variables at the bottom. Scroll the bottom box and highligh Path, then click the Edit button.

Add to the end of the path: ;C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\

DOS can then find collector.bat no matter where you are.

just make a batch file to run it and start the batch with a cd
