DOS Command Window flashes.

I have multiple VI's that are built into exe's. They communicate with shared variables. I launch one exe manually, and it uses the System Exec VI to launch the other two. The main vi (exe) runs each time it is requested and quits (as it was dsigned to do). The man VI sends or retrieves data from the other two continuously running VI's (exe's). However, each time I request the main VI to run the DOS window flashes (ie, apears for a fraction of a second and then goes away)???

If nyou do not wait until completed, it will simply open and close the dos window but continue running in the background. Now, your LabVIEW code will continue to run although the executable has not completed.
It would explain what you are seeing.
Is that how you want your code to behave?
You can run minimized, but still wait until completed. To debug your code, don't run minimized to see what is going on.

Host: suppress DOS command window

hi,
i have programmed the host command statement in a *.pll for running a batch file
my.pll
host('c:\test\my.bat');
my.bat
rwrun60.exe report=c:\test.rdf desname=c:\xyz\01.pdf ...
rwrun60.exe report=c:\test.rdf desname=c:\xyz\02.pdf ...
Windows opens a DOS command window box in which i can see the running commands. it is possible to suppress this window? my.bat should be run in background.
regards,
tom rakete

Use the no_screen parameter in your host command.
Note that you will have to rewrite this stuff differently if you upgrade to a current version of forms.

Too many DOS command windows

Hello,
When I start my local J2EE engine from inside the Management Console it launches a bunch of DOS command windows.
Is there anyway to make those just go away after they have launched/started whatever process each of them handles?
It's not a huge deal but it's annoying to see all those DOS windows on my Task Bar AND there is always the possibility that one of them will get closed by accident thereby "screwing up something". It just seems kinda archaic to have all these DOS windows there the whole time I'm running my local engine.
Thanks in advance for any help.
David.

Just cleaning up all my unanswered questions. Sorry that this will cause the post to 'bubble up' to top.
When we upgraded to later versions of Netweaver Developer Workplace this was not an issue anymore.

Results of Query Wrap Within DOS Command Window.

Greetings,
I am using SQL*PLUS within the DOS command window.
The results of my query is wrapping down the page, instead of using the entire width of the window.
I have set the windows mode command, before going into SQL*PLUS:
MODE CON: COLS=100 LINES=40
So, I was hoping to have Oracle use all 100 columns, when displaying the answer set.
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Size of lines, columns and pages are controlled by SQL*Plus system variables
For width of lines
SET LINES[IZE] which defaults to 80
For number of lines per "page"
SET PAGES[IZE] which defaults to 14
To control formatting, including width of indicidual columns you have COL[UMN], e.g:
COLUMN your_column FORMAT a20
For more settings:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16604/ch_twelve040.htm
If you want certain settings each time you open SQL*Plus, you can add those to your glogin.sql
Regards
Peter

NOT displaying the command window when running applications

hi
i'v been seraching all over the web for a way to get rid of the command window (dos shell) that appears when running a java swing based application (or any other). i currently have a batch file that loads all the required libraries into the class path and then calls the application's main class. problem is, the DOS command window stays open. is there any way to have it not display (obviously without losing my program in the process). at the very least can it be minimised automatically (just the dos window)?? though i think getting rid of it all together would be best.
i would really love some help on this... very over seeing that dos window displayed...
any help would be greatly appreciated.... thanks heaps

Execute DOS command in current window!

All:
Here is my code :
import java.io.*;
public class BuildScript {
public static void main ( String[] args ) {
String[] command = {"C:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe", "cls"};
try {
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec ( command );
process.waitFor();
} catch ( InterruptedException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
} catch ( IOException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
System.out.println ( "DONE!" );
I just want to exeute some simple DOS command from Java application. And then I run this code, it hangs there for ever. I comments out "process.waitFor()", then it print out the "DONE" however it seems that it just open another console and clear that one and exit. For the main console I start my code, nothing happened.
Can anyone help me out how to execute the dos command in current console window.
Thanks

The best way to clear the screen is to print a few hundred newlines.

Installing 9 brings up DOS SETUP command window !! Cannot continue

I tried to install Reader 9. Just after the install starts, the command window appears with a title C:\DOS\SETUP and says "To install MS-DOS, Insert Disk 1 in drive A and press CNTRL+ALT+DEL.

If I press Enter, the Adobe install simply stops and I am returned to the Windows desktop !!??

Executing a dos command from java in windows nt

i need to execute the
" net send"
command from the command line in windows nt, from within my java program... is there any way that i can execute cmommands in the dos command shell? or rather, does anybody know a way i can send a message ( in windows ) from java, from one computer to another over the lan?? I cannot have a java programming running on all the other computers, so i cannot make my program serve, it must just send the messges using a lan command....
(the net send command just sends a message in the form of a pop up box on the receiver's screeen)
thanks a bunch guys!!!
Thanks a bunch guys!!!!

you can do that with exec() in Runtime.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(command here);but before you do that you need to read this:

How can I run a dos command from java on windows 98, 95?

The usage of cmd.exe in the java program to run a dos command on windows 98. 95 doesn't work as the equivalent command is command.exe
But using the command.exe in the java program makes my program to hang.

hi,
As u mentioned, u cannot use the cmd.exe in win9x environment as cmd.exe is specific to windows NT, you can use the command.exe without any hitches.
for eg
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start command /K a.bat"); should run the batch file a.bat..
if the problem persists, try posting the snippet of code that you are using.

Windows/DOS Command line for Apple Software Update

I have a lab of Mac's and PC's all running iTunes/Quicktime. Is there a windows/DOS command line option to running Apple Software Update on Windows? I dont want to have my systems automatically download updates until after I have had a chance to test them first. At the same time though, I down want to have to visit each system(even with VNC) and install the updates by hand either as I have a way to blast a command at the PC's all at once to do the job.
m
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) Windows XP Pro

ok i've sorted it, the solution is you have to put
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Softwareupdate CatalogURL http://servername:8088/
and not
defaults write com.apple.Softwareupdate CatalogURL http://servername:8088/

DOS Commands Used in Java Pgm, but command window should NOT be visible!

Need a solution for the following.
Problem: In a Java program, DOS Commands are used.
Hence while executing it, the command window is visible for few seconds and later it is hided i.e once the processing of that DOS Command is finished.
Solution Required: The Command Window should not be visible. The DOS Commands should be performed in the background with out making the command window visible.

Problem:
I am trying to run a executable file through java . But a command window always pops up. I want the command window not to pop up while the code is executed. Alternatively the rt.exec method should run in the background till the process is complete.
I am using the following code in Java Swing application , where in when a user clicks a button the following method is invoked , which is turns invokes a windows a rasdial.exe file .Ex: rasdial MyConnection;
Can someone help me on this. The below is a snippet of my code .
public void callSerialOrInfraExe(String exeName) {
executableFile = exeName;
Runtime rt = null;
Process process = null;
boolean checkCon = false;
try {
rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
process = rt.exec("rasdial " + executableFile);
process.waitFor();
checkCon = checkConEstablish();
if (checkCon) {
lblMsg.setVisible(true);
cmdSubmit.setText("Done");
cmdSubmit.setMnemonic('D');
rdbSerialPort.setVisible(false);
rdbInfraredPort.setVisible(false);
jLabel1.setText(msgStr.toString());
