Bat file keeps repeating at command line
I'm not sure completely how to explain this, but I have a probelm in that I am trying to create a bat file that defrags the hard drive of a computer. I think I have the syntax down correctly:
defrag c:
exit
and I name the file defrag.bat. When I double click on it to run it, it pulls up the command window as you would expect, but then it just infinately repeats the command c:\defrag c: over and over but doesn't actually do anything. The only way to get it to stop is to close the command window. I could swear I have resolved this once before by moving the location of the bat file to a different location other than the root of the c: drive. I tried doing this to resolve and it didn't make a difference. Could someone give me some advice on how to fix this?
