running batch files from C# takes too much time












1















I am running a batch file from c# align.bat it is taking more than 40 seconds
but when i run the same batch file manually it takes less than 2 seconds. what changes is needed to eliminate the extra time consumed?



            string comnd = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
Process batchProcess = new Process();
batchProcess.StartInfo.FileName = comnd + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "align.bat";
batchProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = comnd;
//batchProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
batchProcess.Start();
batchProcess.WaitForExit();

  • instead of executing bat. you can execute cmd and give string content of batch file as CMD parameters. so it will be running same as bat file. can you try it ?

  • This should not happen. Something else than the code you show must be the reason..

    Why would you use Path.DirectorySeparatorChar and then manually combine paths when Path already has methods for doing that?

Testing revealed that the issue was caused by an anti-malware software suite installed on all of employer's computers.



This software probably detects a new piece of software as an unknown dropper and at first runs anything it starts silently in a sandbox before starting it normally.



Solution should then be to whitelist the program(s) causing issues and/or disable sandboxing.
