Windows 10: CMD.EXE - 'Terminate batch job Y/N?', replying yes detach java call inside

Hi,


I use some batch files for exemple to launch Jetty. Example

@echo off

set CUR=%~dp0


...

:check_JETTY_BASE
if exist "%JETTY_BASE%" goto ok_JETTY_BASE
echo Error: JETTY_BASE set to "%JETTY_BASE%" but directory does not exist
goto error



:ok_JETTY_BASE



cd %JETTY_BASE%
java -jar %JETTY_HOME%/start.jar %JETTY_OPTIONS% %JETTY_STOP_OPTIONS% --module=ext jetty-started.xml
pause
goto end



:error
cd /D "%CUR%"
exit /b 1



:end
cd /D "%CUR%"


All is launched well.

⇒ Jetty is well launched and serve requests.

⇒ Batch launch stays as expected before the pause cmd.

⇒ if I use the "Jetty STOP" command, no problem, "pause is called"


My question is about the CTRL-C, why does it not "stop" the java call, but the CMD.EXE batch?

I see then

'Terminate batch job Y/N?'

• if I do CTRL-C twice, the Jetty java stays in memory *sigh*
• if I reply "Yes" same problem *sigh*
• if I reply "No" ⇒ ok "pause is called"

Does it exist a way inside .BAT to forward the CTRL-C to here the


java -jar %JETTY_HOME%/start.jar %JETTY_OPTIONS% %JETTY_STOP_OPTIONS% --module=ext jetty-started.xml


?

i have sent an massage earlier but i dit not get an reply after the first answer:

asked on

I have a problem i upgraded to windows 10 and i suddenly was unable to open .jar (java) files.

I used to be able to just double click the .jar file or , open with java(TM) platform SE binary ,.

I found a solution to that problem , by win+r (run) running :CMD and navigating to the file map, and typing this command: java -jar [FileName] than it finally worked/opened. this method is very time consuming
and i have to run all those codes .

now is the question: how can i get java to work fully?

what i want is that i can simply click the .jar file and just open it. because the method in the console is hard an time consuming

this worked on windows 7/8 how can i fix this?

is i now click the file set to open with java a window pops up for a split second it seems empty(a CMD like window).

* I have the latest version of java.

* I have tried removing and reinstalling java.

* I am an gamer and i have a relay good/fast PC so that can not be the issue.

Allowing Local Standard Account Log On As Batch Job Rights

Hi das10 and thanks for the response.

This was my concern that there might be security implications.

So, this was what I did step by step to get to this point:

1. created a task using the information from this link:
How to change the Windows Defender update frequency

2. the task ran successfully but the command prompt window was open as mentioned

At this point the only change I made was to switch in the task from "Run only when user is logged on" to "Run whether user is logged on or not". It was at this time that I was asked for a password, received an error message about rights and batch jobs.

3. I then logged in to the admin account and changed the setting in GPE based on the information here:
Log on as Batch Job Rights for Task Scheduler — danblee.com

I did not set "Run with highest privileges" either in the initial task or after changing the GPE setting.

The task runs as I wanted it to but as you pointed out there may be security implications.

This is a personal/work computer and nobody else has access to it (if that makes a difference).

Are you suggesting I undo the changes to GPE?

Thanks!

 

Windows Installation Error (Unable to update boot configuration)

Hello,

I have the exact same issue that detailed in this question. I have completed your suggested CMD commands:

• 
  bootrec /fixmbr
  
• 
  bootrec /fixboot
  
• 
  bootrec /scanos
  
• 
  bootrec /rebuildbcd
  

But I think you left off the last part. After "bootrec /rebuildbcd, Windows asks : "Add installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A)"

Which do I choose??? Y, N, or A??

Eagerly awaiting your reply. Thanks!
