Command-line parameter for TitleExtraText option

[amach]

I often connect to a VPN and run some programs using my remote credentials, so I need to use the command

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /netonly /user:DOMAIN\username "program"

to run them. So, instead of doing so for each of those programs, I added them to TCMD button bar and I run TCMD with runas. But if I run two instances of TCMD, one using local credentials and other using remote credentials, there's no way to know which is which, except for the instance number (and I need to remember which number is each one). I didn't want to have two wincmd.ini files just to set different TitleExtraText settings for each, so I'd like to ask for a command-line parameter to override the ini setting. With that, I can set it in the shortcut I use to launch TCMD with remote credentials.

Aren't there any environment variables which are different between the two?
TitleExtraText supports environment variables like %USERNAME%. Just run cmd.exe and use the command
set
to view a list of all environment variables.

Have you tried to use start command? It supports "title" as a parameter for a window.

Yes, unfortunately it doesn't work. No matter what you put in "title", it isn't shown in TCMD title.

I'll give it a try. Even if there's no available environment variable to tell them apart, I can set a new one just before starting TCMD. I didn't know that the option supports them.

Thanks a lot.

Well, it worked. I just had to create a batch script to set the variable and call TCMD, and then call that script using runas.exe (because runas.exe starts a new environment and, thus, any variable created before it won't be available in that new environment).
