Getting Multiple DOS Windows in Perl

[Andy202]

Getting a new DOS Windows for each batch file that is run.

print "Starting Server\n";
start sever= system("cmd /c runserver.bat");
sleep(2);    # 2 seconds        
 
print "Starting Client1\n";
start runclient1 = system("cmd /c runclient1.bat");
 
print "Starting Client2\n";
start runclient2 = system("cmd /c runclient2.bat");

How do you get a separte DOS window for each program?

Found how to de it:-

print "Starting Server\n";
$runserver = system("cmd /c start runserver.bat");    # Start in new DOS window
sleep(2);    # 2 seconds    

But would like to be able to set the Window title?

Well, looking at the documentation for cmd.exe, it doesn't look like it has an option to do that. I don't know of any other way to do it either.

If you want, you can post in the Windows forum and ask there, but don't mention that its for Perl or they will move it over here. Just mention that you are using the cmd command to start a window from a script and need to know how to set the title of the window. That's all.

You should be able to just add these lines at the top of your bat file yes

@ECHO OFF
title <whatever you want your tile to be>
