Hello.
Is there any "trick" to send from dosbox to Windows a command or an event?
I'd like to start a script (AutoIt) only after dosbox.exe terminates its startup, when it shows "C:\>" and the status window complete all the info messages.
Thanks in advance.
Nope, you could have DOSBox create a file when done loading (in autoexec) and then have a file/directory monitor on the host. Only way I can think of (without modifying DOSBox of course)
Shows "C:\>" ??

Thanks for replies.
DOSBox create a file when done loading (in autoexec) and then have a file/directory monitor on the host.
Yes, this is the first choice I've thought and done.
The external script (AutoIt) runs dosbox.exe and the last command under "[Autoxec]" section (dosbox.conf) copy an empty file ("db_ok.tx1") with another name ("db_ok.txt").
When the function "FileExist" of the script notes that new file, starts the other windows programs that I need and delete the file used for the check before exit.
So all is ready for the next restart of dosbox.
I hoped for something more simple, but it is not a big problem.
The procedure is a bit complicated, but works fine.😀
Shows "C:\>" ??
It's a generic prompt after the "mount" in "[Autoxec]" section of the configuration file, just for understand the conditions, could be other of course.
