Batch Script

Hello,

When I call a batch script, is a cmd.exe being run to intepret it or is
it being intepreted in powershell?

If it is being intepreted in powershell, is there a way that the batch
script can tell whether it is being run in powershell or runned with a
regular cmd?

Thanks,
Jonathan

*.bat and *.cmd files are interpreted by the programs that the extensions are
connected with. Usually this is cmd.exe (command.com on older versions of
Windows). PowerShell does not interpret them, it starts the connected program
in a new separate process. Input/ouput are only redirected to the same
console window.
