start command from cmd
« on: June 08, 2006, 05:18:33 AM »
Hi all.

I need to start telnet session with title on the title bar in windows XP.  I typed below command at Start->Run->open

cmd /c start -m "Router-Samba CLI" telnet 10.72.10.22

but title is not shows as "Router-Samba CLI", it is shown as Telnet 10.77.10.22.

but same command works fine with windows 2000

Could any one help to display "Router-Samba CLI" as title.

or Could you suggest if any other command can be used.

This is very much important for me as I am using router name instead of ip in all the placess.
Accually I am calling this command from my application. where user can launch multiple session on different router.

    Why is it important for it to give the name rather than the ip??

    I could be wrong, but I think that XP telnet overrides the title option, so you may not be able to change this.  You could try using a different telnet client altogether.  I strongly recommend >PuTTY<.
