[SOLVED] Batch File Wont Stay Open

[Rytron]

Hi,
I have a batch file.

Here is the code:
@echo off
arp -d *
nbtstat -R
ipconfig /flushdns
nbtstat -RR
ipconfig /registerdns

I click it but it just flashs and then closes. How can I make it stay open until I click a key to close it?

Thanks.

Add "pause" as the last line, then it will say "Press any key to continue . . ." and wait for you to finish reading. So make it look like this:

@echo off
arp -d *
nbtstat -R
ipconfig /flushdns
nbtstat -RR
ipconfig /registerdns
pause
That should do it.

Excellent, that worked.

I also have this .bat file:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
pause

It just flashes. It wont stay open. Is there a fault with the above bode?

It's actually been about 6 months since I stopped using Windows entirely to use Ubuntu. If you have a shortcut to the batch file on the desktop, you can right-click and click "properties" and I believe there's an option to keep the window open after the batch file runs.

You can put the sleep option also for automatic execution of next statement
like

sleep n seconds
