Menu
In windows, I am running a bat script that currently ends with a 'pause' and prompts for the user to 'Press any key to continue...'
I am unable to edit the file in this scenario and I need the script to terminate instead of hang waiting for input that will never come. Is there a way I can run this that will disable or circumvent the prompt?
I have tried piping in input and it does not seem to help. This script is being run from python via subprocess.Popen.

The ECHO-OFF command suppresses echoing for the terminal attached to a specified process. The ECHO-ON command restores input echoing for a specified process. These commands are frequently used in Procs.
If you're creating a batch file and want the MS-DOS window to remain open, add PAUSE to the end of your batch file. This prompts the user to Press any key. Until the user presses any key, the window remains open instead of closing automatically.
Try to execute cmd.exe /c YourCmdFile < nul
YourCmdFile - full path to your batch script

subprocess.call("mybat.bat", stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL)
Would call mybat.bat and redirect input from nul on windows (which disables pause as shown in other answers)
