I'm running a batch file that has these two lines:
start C:\Users\Yiwei\Downloads\putty.exe -load "MathCS-labMachine1"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming\Xming.exe" :0 -clipboard -multiwindow
This batch file is used to run the Xming application and then the PuTTY app so I can SSH into my university's computer lab.
However, if I run this and Xming is not already open, once I exit from the PuTTY terminal the cmd window remains open. Only if I have already run Xming does the cmd window close when I close the PuTTY terminal. I've tried adding exit
to the last line of the batch file, but to no avail.
Modify the batch file to START
both programs, instead of START
ing one and CALL
ing another
start C:\Users\Yiwei\Downloads\putty.exe -load "MathCS-labMachine1"
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming\Xming.exe" :0 -clipboard -multiwindow
If you run it like this, no CMD window will stay open after starting the program.
