@Umang Jain: I’ve never tried it but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Let me know how you fare.

the code given at the top of the page, can it be used in a java prog in place of ,bat file…. i mean, can we call the .vbs file instead of .bat file…..

Here’s my variation. Just save this in a vbs with the name of the batch file you would like to execute. So, if you have want to run restartsql.bat, just save this code in restartsql.vbs and it will find the correct file and execute it.

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(”WScript.Shell”)
Set oFSO = WScript.CreateObject(”Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
script = oFSO.GetFile(WScript.ScriptFullName)

cmd_ext = “.bat”
cmd_path = oFSO.GetParentFolderName(script)
cmd_name = Split(oFSO.GetBaseName(script),”.”)(0)

cmd = cmd_path & “\” & cmd_name & cmd_ext
Return = WshShell.Run(cmd,0,True)
set WshShell = Nothing

I use a program called Quick Batch File Compiler, it has a “ghost option when compiling the code that hides the console window. Also, it hides your source so the batch file cant be tampered with, but i would only recommend that if your planning on never changing anything in your batch file.
