How to close Batch file(cmd command) automatically after running

Hi Everybody

Onedrive mklink not syncing(updating) files on a Windows 10 Server.

So this is what I did.

1. Create a Mklink to sync Pastel Folder - Working

2. Create batch file with following commands - working

%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /shutdown %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe /background

3. Create Task in Windows Task scheduler to run Batch file every hour - Working

4. Only problem - Batch file\CMD Window doesnt close automatically after run. - Not Working

What command must I add to Batch file to close CMD window????

 

When I add the extension >nul in my batch file, CMD opens and closes instantly.

So I was gonna do a batch program, I basically needed to add like a little delay so I did

ping 127.0.0.1>nul

But when I tried opening the batch program, it instantly closes.

So I triend running the command in CMD (not in a batch file)

Then it says this:

C:\Users\(name)>ping 127.0.0.1>nul

The system cannot find the file specified.

The Windows version i have is Windows 8.1 Pro.

You can't just rename a batch file to .exe *Big Grin it wont ever work! =D and that "bench" is built into vista *Smile And you cant input text into another cmd window.. But if you want to open calc.exe from a batch file just type calc.exe *Smile
