How can I suppress the “terminate batch job” in cmd.exe [closed]

Answer 1

Yes, there is more elegant way than patching cmd.exe. Just put START in front of your command. For your example the line would read like: "START java -jar build-scripts\contrib\rhino1.7R1.jar"

Answer 2

The behaviour is implemented in the cmd.exe source code, and isn't possible to turn off without modifying cmd.exe. However you can modify cmd.exe to not show the message.

Answer 3

At this site, I finally found an effective solution:

script.cmd < nul

To not have to type this out every time I made a second script called script2.cmd in the same folder with the line above. You may want to reverse the names. Works for me, but tested so far on XP only.

Answer 4

The modification below suppresses "Terminate batch job? (Y/N)" and the new console window:

start cmd /c java -jar build-scripts\contrib\rhino1.7R1.jar

Answer 5

@start cmd /c java -jar build-scripts\contrib\rhino1.7R1.jar
@exit

this will make only one window

Answer 6

FWIW, piping 'N' as the input for a command worked me for some batch files (but I actually wanted the new window). Maybe it will work for you too.

(echo. N)| cmd /c java -jar build-scripts\contrib\rhino1.7R1.jar
