Windows 10: custom .bat file, opening multiple tabs and executing a command in each one

sorry for rookie custom but I want to make my dev experience easier, so I want to create custom command .bat file in order to open multiple tabs and executing a command in each one (For.example php artisan serve, npm run watch...).

What I tried:

C:\Users\GABRIEL\Desktop\custom-command.bat

I created .bat file like this: ``` cmd.exe && cd C:\xampp\htdocs\kinshiki && php artisan serve

cmd.exe && cd C:\xampp\htdocs\kinshiki&& npm run watch

cmd.exe && cd C:\xampp\htdocs\ishhiki && expo start

```

But when I execute file I get an error:

"C:\Users\GABRIEL\Desktop\custom-command.bat" command is not recognized as an internal or external

.bat file

A batch file (.bat extension) is basically a series of commands to be executed by the command-line interpreter. When you open the file, your system runs every command stored in the file from top to bottom, once the final command has been executed, it closes
itself indicating it has finished its job. However, everything happens so fast you think it closes immediately and that's completely normal.

If you want the command-line interpreter window to remains open once the last command has been executed, I suggest you do the following:

- Right click on the .bat file and click on the 'edit' button.

- It will open a notepad displaying a series of commands.

- Create a new line by hitting enter after the final text and type in 'pause' without quotes.

- Save the file and run it. This time the window will remain open.

 

Command line/tab

QUESTION/suggestion:
* Why not remember the last active tab?
For example, if you are on tab 2 and close the program, then run it again, for the program to open tab 2 again. But if the -tab X command-line option is used, then the program goes to X tab, regardless of last active tab.

Does that make sense?

 

.bat file

Yes, when I click on bat file, command prompt opens and within seconds closing.

It is not executing.
