Solution 2

You could write those commands out to a .bat file in a temporary folder then use Process.Start on that batch file

Solution 1

I've no access to the EXE file (I assume it's a Genesys thing) but there are two ways you can try: concatenating the parameter strings together with spaces between them:

C#

Process.Start(@"C:\Users\zzzz\Documents\SCServer_mlcmd\mlcmd.exe", String.Join(" ", rut_ors_p, rut_messagesrv_p, etl_p);

Or issue three separate Start commands:

C#

Process.Start(@"C:\Users\zzzz\Documents\SCServer_mlcmd\mlcmd.exe", rut_ors_p);
Process.Start(@"C:\Users\zzzz\Documents\SCServer_mlcmd\mlcmd.exe", rut_messagesrv_p,);
Process.Start(@"C:\Users\zzzz\Documents\SCServer_mlcmd\mlcmd.exe", etl_p);

Which you need is up to how the app was written in the first place.

I have one question. I have a lot of keys in config file, how can I read all keys and use it in start process?
e.g.:
<add key="mlcmd" value="C:\Users\cen65842\Documents\SCServer_mlcmd\mlcmd.exe">
<add key="switch_app" value="xyz">
<add key="rut_messagesrv_p" value="abx">
<add key="rut_ors_p" value="abb">
...

Here is my code:
Process.Start(mlcmd, switch_app + rut_messagesrv_p);
Process.Start(mlcmd,switch_app + rut_ors_p);
.etc
.
.
I dont want declare all keys in single row but as complex, now I have:
string mlcmd = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["mlcmd"];
string switch_app = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["switch_app"];
string rut_messagesrv_p = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["rut_messagesrv_p"];
string rut_ors_p = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["rut_ors_p"];

Depends on the app and how it's written.
Best way is "try it and see what happens" in a command line manually.
