UNC file execution

Hi All

Im totally new to python and im going crazy.

I am trying to launch a batch file from the network (UNC path), but it doesnt seem to execute this batch file as this ia one batch that sets the environment for the following batches.

Kindly help me in this regard.

Im using the command

os.system("\\\\servername\\folder\\env.bat")

Please show the command that works as you'd enter it to the DOS prompt. Please show the error messages. Thanks.

Hi

I executed the script by running the cmd python main.py.

The script main.py consists of just 3 lines of code

impot os

os.system("\\\\servername\\dir\\file1.bat")
os.system("\\\\servername\\dir\\file2.bat")

Without executing these 2 batch files I cannot proceed to the rest of the coding part.

The file1.bat is the one that sets an environment for the file2.bat to work.

So I do not get any error message with file1.bat but the error i get is file2.bat is not recognized as an internal or external command.

Thanks for the reply.

So I'm guessing that the execution of file1.bat has failed.


Thanks for the reply.

I apologize for my unclear question.

I meant, what is the command line you use to run file1.bat . Certainly it's not

A:> \\servername\dir\file1.bat

Does file1.bat need execute permission? I haven't written a .bat file in at least 3 years.

It is by default

c:\users\dj:> \\servername\dir\file1.bat


I do have execute permission to run the batch files because i did try and execute the file1.bat and file2.bat manually and it works fine.

I also did try and map the network path to z:\file1.bat and try the command

os.system("Z:\\file1.bat")

But still no luck.

Thanks
