Command Prompt Arguments

Question

Hi i need to invoke some arguments in command prompt....im able to open command prompt along with extra arguments but i need to enter some more arguments after that..

ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe","/c C:\\Perl\\bin\\Perl.exe /bin/perl /desk/desk.py cmd.exe");

Process.Start(start);

The above lines will invoke command prompt and open another command prompt window(which is nothing but perl command prompt)...

i need to invoke a command (perlpackagemanager) in the new window which im not able to do..please help me on this......

I'm not sure whether this will work but I'd try enclosing the second cmd.exe and its argument in double quotes so that they're treated as one block: ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo(cmd.exe/c C:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe /bin/perl /desk/desk.py \cmd.exe perlpackagemanager\ ); Process.Start(start); If that doesn't work then I'd try creating a batch file to open a new command window and call perlpackagemanager and then use the batch file as an argument in place of the second cmd.exe.
