cannot ping same address second time in a loop

[manraw90]

-------zzz.bat------
sleep 2
ping 192.168.3.52
ping 192.168.3.48
arp -a>arpt.txt
arp -d
START CMD /C CALL "arpt.bat" [args [...]]
exit
--------arpt.bat---------
set path=C:\Java\bin
javac apples.java
java apples
cls
START CMD /C CALL "zzz.bat" [args [...]]
exit

------test.bat------
:startloop
ping 192.168.3.52
ping 192.168.3.48
sleep 2
goto startloop


'zzz.bat' works fine first time but when 'arpt.bat' calls 'zzz.bat' again error comes as 'ping' is not recognized as internal or external command..........whereas 'test.bat' works perfectly....any solutions???

If you overwrite the PATH environment variable then you have to call the commands by their full name. Eg.:

Code: Select all

%systemroot%\system32\ping.exe 192.168.3.52
