Hi All,
I have an issue running a batch file which has the following code:

@echo off

java -jar D:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/Selenium-1.0.2/lib/selenium/openqa/selenium-server.jar.txt
ruby "D:\Programs\Cvis\SmokeTEST1.rb"

The First line starts a server which has to be active and then go to the second line which starts my program.
Is there anyway i can run my server in the background and goto the second line and run my program.
Problem i am facing is that the server starts but it doesn't end so how can second line be executed!!

Thanks in Advance

did you try the Start command as suggested by Robert Klemme in comp.lang.ruby:

Quote

Try using 'cmd /c "start D:\\ruby\\bin\\selenium.cmd"'

If that doesn't do it, (without the double backslashes), my guess is that you may need to use Start with the /B switch

  @echo off
  start /b D:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\Selenium-1.0.2\lib\selenium\openqa\java -jar selenium-server.jar
  ruby "D:\Programs\Cvis\SmokeTEST1.rb"

Starting with the /B switch is working fine .

Hi,
I wanted to check in my Batch file whether "setup.done" trigger file existed in 'Y' Drive, if it was present i wanted to goto START, which executed my program else it has to come out.
My code is not working, have i done any mistakes?

<CODE>
@echo off

SET trigger_drive=Y:

IF "trigger" == "setup.done" GOTO START

GOTO END

:START

start /b java -jar D:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/Selenium-1.0.2/lib/selenium/openqa/selenium-server.jar.txt
ruby "D:\Programs\Cvis_Automation\palm_master_loading.rb"

:END

<CODE>


Thanks in Advance

You shouldn't need all that, try this:

 
@Echo off

If Not Exist Y:\SetUp.Done GoTo :Eof

Start /b java -jar D:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/Selenium-1.0.2/lib/selenium/openqa/selenium-server.jar.txt

Ruby "D:\Programs\Cvis_Automation\palm_master_loading.rb"
