Let's say I have WSL Ubuntu installed. Now I want to finish the following tasks by a batch file:
run Ubuntu in cmd
run Python in Ubuntu
run Python commands under interactive mode
I've tried batch files such as
cmd /k ubuntu "python"
and
cmd /k ubuntu
python
...
Unfortunately, all failed to run python in WSL.
What should I do to run commands in such "nested environments"?
Assuming Ubuntu is your default Linux distribution under WSL, you should try using either cmd /k ubuntu -c python or simply cmd /k wsl python.
If you would like to read more about using WSL with cmd, you may want to take a look at these articles:
A Guide To Invoking WSL (Microsoft DevBlogs)
Windows Interoperability With Linux (Microsoft Docs)
The first article has examples of how to execute commands via WSL in cmd at the end of the post, while the second article confirms that the -c option isn't required for wsl:
[The]
-coption for running a single command isn't needed withwsl.exe.
cmd /k ubuntu -c python? Or justcmd /k wsl python? (Assuming Ubuntu is your default).-cin Microsoft docs. Could you please provide me a link or something so that I can read more details?
