Keep CMD open after BAT file executes

batch-file, cmd, file

Solution

Depending on how you are running the command, you can put `/k` after `cmd` to keep the window open.

cmd /k my_script.bat

Simply adding `cmd /k` to the end of your batch file will work too. Credit to Luigi D'Amico who posted about this in the comments below.

Problem

I have a bat file like this: ``` ipconfig ``` That will print out the IP info to the screen, but before the user can read that info CMD closes itself. I believe that CMD assumes the script has finished, so it closes. How do I keep CMD open after the script is finished?
