Running another program in Windows bat file and not create child process

问题

I have subversion server with a post-commit hook to do something.

I want the checkin finish soon, not wait the hook script. But by design, the Subversion post-commit hook script will run until all child process exit, so using somthing like:

start another_prog...

in the hook bat file has no use.

So I want to know how to run another program in Windows bat file which not create child process or let the child process detach from the parent.

回答1:

Synchronous. The second notepad won't launch until you close the first.

notepad.exe c:\temp\a.txt
notepad.exe c:\temp\b.txt

Asynchronous: The second notepad will launch even if you haven't closed the first.

start notepad.exe c:\temp\a.txt
start notepad.exe c:\temp\b.txt

More info about the start command:

EDIT: The following comment was made elsewhere by @zhongshu, the original poster. I'm only copying it here:

start cmd /c doesn't work because SVN post-commit hook will wait for the hook and the child process created by the hook exit. It's the design of SVN. I have found a solution, Please refer: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2008-11/0301.shtml

Assuming that he knows what he's talking about, I'm wrong and...undeserving.

I found a method to resolve my question, compile the following c code and named the exe output as runjob.exe, and then in the hook bat file, use " runjob another_prog " , now it's ok.

#include <windows.h> 
#include <stdio.h> 
#include <tchar.h> 
int _tmain() 
{ 
    char * pCmd = ::GetCommandLine(); 
    // skip the executable 
    if (*pCmd++ == L'"')
    {
        while (*pCmd++ != L'"'); 
    }
    else 
    {
        while (*pCmd != NULL && *pCmd != L' ') 
            ++pCmd; 
    }

    while (*pCmd == L' ')
        pCmd++; 

    STARTUPINFO si; 
    ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) ); 
    si.cb = sizeof(si); 
    PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; 
    ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) ); 

    // Start the child process. 
    BOOL result = CreateProcess 
    ( 
        NULL, // No module name (use command line) 
        pCmd, // Command line 
        NULL, // Process handle not inheritable 
        NULL, // Thread handle not inheritable 
        FALSE, // Set bInheritHandles to FALSE 
        DETACHED_PROCESS, // Detach process 
        NULL, // Use parent's environment block 
        NULL, // Use parent's starting directory 
        &si, // Pointer to STARTUPINFO structure 
        &pi // Pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION structure (returned) 
    ); 
    if (result) return 0; 

    char msg[2048]; 
    FormatMessage 
    ( 
        FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM, 
        NULL, 
        ::GetLastError(), 
        MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_SYS_DEFAULT), 
        msg, sizeof(msg), 
        NULL 
    ); 
    fputs(msg, stderr); 
    _flushall(); 

    return -1; 
}

What you can do is create a Scheduled Task that executes the batch script or other executable that runs for a long time. Set it to run once, in the past and don't set it to delete the task when no more runs are scheduled. Then in your Subversion hook script, put the following line in:

schtasks /run /tn NameOfYourTaskHere

I confirmed with a test by having my scheduled task run Notepad++ and the Notepad++ executable showed up as a child of svchost.exe, not the cmd.exe window that I executed the schtasks command from.

回答4:

Use:

start cmd /c "your command"

Cheers.

回答5:

Try cmd /c "your command"

回答6:

Could you use the windows task scheduler command line interface "schtasks /run" to start a job that runs the "another_prog"? You'd have to create the job ahead of time. There also used to be a "SOON" program with the Windows (NT) Resource Kit that would create dynamic entries for the "AT" command scheduler to run a job in a few minutes that would not require setting up a job ahead of time, it can still be found with a little searching.

回答7:

You can create a hybrid batch/JScript file (i.e. a batch file able to run embedded JScript) where the JScript part will run another_prog in detached mode with shell.Run(prog, 0, false):

@if (@X)==(@Y) @end /* JScript comment
    rem put any batch code that runs before another_prog here
    @cscript //E:JScript //nologo "%~f0" "another_prog" 0 false
    rem put any batch code that runs after another_prog here

    exit /b %errorlevel%
@if (@X)==(@Y) @end JScript comment */

var ARGS = WScript.Arguments;
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
shell.Run(ARGS.Item(0),ARGS.Item(1),ARGS.Item(2));`
