Script Help

Win XP Pro

I want to run the following from a command (cmd.exe) window as a script
so I do not have to type this in all the time.

How do I make this a single script.

netstat –ano netstat.txt
tasklist tasklist.txt
notepad tasklist.txt
notepad netstat.txt


TIA

I tried running as a .BAT but it hangs at
Notepad tasklist.txt
And I have to close it before the next line is executed so I do not get
both text files open at once.

There's some garbage in your post in the first command, so I'll assume
you really mean "netstat netstat.txt".

Make a plain txt file called OldGuy.cmd (or whatever you want) like
this:

======== cut here ===========

netstat netstat.txt
tasklist tasklist.txt
start notepad tasklist.txt
start notepad netstat.txt

======== cut here ===========

What happens is that each command is run sequentially, each waiting for
the previous to complete itself. The first two happen quickly so it's
not a problem. The last two would wait for your interaction unless you
use the "start" command. That will cause those commands to not wait for
the previous, otherwise the last line wouldn't execute until you closed
the first instance of Notepad down.

The last two lines could also be simply, "start tasklist.txt", in which
case the text file will open with the default text editor/view (which
might or might not be Notepad.)

It looked like this -ano when I typed it in to the Cmd.exe but
somewhere along the line it got converted to this –ano during a copy
/ paste.

Thanks for the start.
That should do what I want.

[Actually, the second "start" might not be needed (-:]

It looked like just the plain -ano when I read it in the first post too;
interesting!

I also wondered (from my Unix days about thirty years ago!) if something
like

start notepad netstat
notepad tasklist

or

start netstat | notepad
tasklist | notepad

might work, but I haven't tried them; I don't know how well if at all
and | work with MS command-line utilities, or if even I'm using them
correctly. (A Linux fan could probably answer the last bit.)

P. S.: you made me wonder what they do, so I tried netstat and tasklist;
I'm not sure what netstat did [yes, I did netstat /? and it told me, and
I'm none the wiser (-:], and tasklist isn't recognised by my machine.

I got slapped around for using tasklist here once.

Turns out, there is a copy of "tasklist" on WinXP Pro and not on WinXP Home.

So a Home user can't do "tasklist /svc" to get a list of
services and what PIDs they live in.

But you can use Process Explorer from sysinternals.com .

In the screenshot here, I show the output of tasklist /? in the upper
left, tasklist /svc in the bottom left, and the remainder of the screen
is occupied by Process Explorer.

And no, I didn't find the following page first. I tried a search on
"tasklist /svc winxp home" to verify it wasn't on Home and
I wasn't seeing things, and I found this.

I would never slap Paul! Far too helpful.

Hmm - all a little too above me I fear!

Thanks for the link - not so much that one as others on it.
