- NAME
- run - Run a Windows program from a DOS prompt within
- Windows.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- run command [parameters] [&]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- If Windows is running, run passes the current directory
- and command [parameters] [&] to the scheduler sched.
- Sched will run command [parameters] as a child proces
- in the indicated directory. The optional & symbol
- indicates that the program will run minimized.
-
- If Windows is not running, win command [parameters]
- will be executed.
-
- In order to use this program, the scheduler must have
- been loaded. Insert into the section [windows] in the
- file win.ini:
- load=sched.exe
-
- BUGS
- If the environment variable TEMP is changed after
- Windows has been started, communication between run and
- sched will be lost.
-
- Sched uses the environment variable PATH as it was when
- Windows was started.
-
- Changes made to the environment after Windows has been
- started, have no effect on the program to be run. The
- program inherrits the environment as it was when Win-
- dows was started.
