Keep CMD open after BAT file executes
I have a bat file like this:
ipconfig
That will print out the IP info to the screen, but before the user can read that info CMD closes itself.
I believe that CMD assumes the script has finished, so it closes.
How do I keep CMD open after the script is finished?
Put pause
at the end of your .BAT file.
Depending on how you are running the command, you can put /k
after cmd
to keep the window open.
cmd /k my_script.bat
Simply adding cmd /k
to the end of your batch file will work too. Credit to Luigi D'Amico who posted about this in the comments below.
