Sometimes I resort to the command line to do things quickly and "the old
way". Its really handy to be able to multitask on the command line, and for
that I've written this small batch file.
-- listing for bg.bat ---
start /m command /c %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
--- end listing ----
By putting this batch file on my path, I can run any dos (or windows)
command or program in the background. For example,
bg pkunzip data.zip c:\datadir -d
will unzip my data in the background. It's very handy and I use it often.
Anybody that uses UNIX or OS/2 will be used to this feature. |
