REM Start Controller: SET M_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\LoadRunner\bin cd %M_ROOT% wlrun.exe -TestPath D:\Dev\Dev1.lrs -port 8080 -Run -DontClose pause Press Ctrl-Z to keep this window or
Including the -Run parameter is the same as manually pressing the "Start Scenario" automatically upon invocation. This is not a good idea because you may have to decide about collating the file from a previous run or want to change the output folder.
