cmd - How to call one batch file after another

Question

I have a batch file that i am testing, all i want to do is the following

CALL ping.bat

Then after that batch file has run i want to run another file:

CALL ping2.bat

Right now i have these two lines beside each other in a batch file the first batch file will fire successfully but the second one does not . Any suggestions?

CALL ping.bat
CALL ping2.bat

Ping .bat is just:

ping 127.0.0.1    

Answer 1

Check that you don't have exit somewhere in the first batch. Some people habitually use that to jump out of a batch file which is not the proper way to exit a batch (exit /b or goto :eof is).

Another option is that you might call another batch in the first one without call.
