If your batch file is having multiple commands and those commands are trying to execute or invoke other batch commands something like this.
Example:
SET PATH=%PATH%;%PROGRAMFILES%\nodejs;%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\nodejs;%APPDATA%\npm
npm install -g mypackageinstaller
mypackageinstaller use latest
If you run above commands from a batch file, only first 2 commands
will be get executed and the last one will be ignored.
Reason being, here npm is a batch file from Node, once windows command process invokes npm process,after npm get executed it will not return to the original command process. Hence,third command won't be executed from a batch file.
To avoid these issues, we can invoke these kind of commands using
"call".
Modified batch script:
SET PATH=%PATH%;%PROGRAMFILES%\nodejs;%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\nodejs;%APPDATA%\npm
call npm install -g mypackageinstaller
call mypackageinstaller use latest
All these commands will be executed sequentially.
To make them parallel, we can use "start" command.
