I do not understand this suggestion regarding command.com. The
cmd.exe should work just fine.

  start cmd.exe /c d:\temp\test\hooks\newp.bat

And even simplier

  start /c d:\temp\test\hooks\newp.bat

What is the purpose of nul argument (aka windows version of /dev/null)
in your example of calling the bat file? Are you redirecting some
input or output to/from there?

I also do not like pinging someone's 1.1.1.1 Use your own 127.0.0.1
for that purpose.
