I want to execute multiple commands in the cleartool.exe console, but ; or && doesnt work.
Example:
cd /myView; ct mkact myActivity
Any suggestions to run this?
I need to use cleartool.exe

Don't chain your commands in a cleartool session: do it in a cmd like I mention below. – VonC Nov 23 '16 at 17:54

So... it is not possible.... Im using cleartool.exe because Im calling this into vb.net code... my application runs several cleartool commands thats why I try that... – benja tosello Nov 23 '16 at 18:11

vb.net can exec a cmd, in which you can chain your commands. – VonC Nov 23 '16 at 18:13

yes but the users that will use the app may not everybody have permissions to execute cmd – benja tosello Nov 23 '16 at 18:18

If you are running windows, you can include cleartool commands in a command like:
cd /d m:\tempview\testvob1 & cleartool desc .
Note the /d option. Otherwise the DRIVE won't change and you won't see the directory. You can also use pushd/popd to change the directory.
Multiple cleartool commands can be chained together the same way.
On unix, the semicolon works like the & sign.
If you want to put a bunch of cleartool commands together, you can do something like this:
- Create a text file with commands to run
run cleartool < text file
m:\tempview\mkvobtest-try2>copy con cleartool_stuff.txt find -all -type l -print desc . desc .@@ quit ^Z 1 file(s) copied.m:\tempview\mkvobtest-try2>cleartool < cleartool_stuff.txt M:\tempview\mkvobtest-try2\desktop M:\tempview\mkvobtest-try2\maketest2\make2.mk directory version ".@@\main\23" created 2014-04-11T12:10:40-04:00 by A User (auser.user@PC1) "Added directory element "Test"." Element Protection: User : NT:S-1-5-21-984945237-1216120022-2217536578-1001 : rwx Group: BUILTIN\Users : rwx Other: : rwx element type: directory predecessor version: \main\22 directory element ".@@" created 2010-03-10T12:25:01-05:00 by A User (auser.user@PC2) "Predefined directory element for root of versioned object base." element type: directory master replica: mrpeabody-rep@\mkvobtest-try2 Protection: User : NT:S-1-5-21-984945237-1216120022-2217536578-1001 : rwx Group: BUILTIN\Users : rwx Other: : rwx source pool: sdft cleartext pool: cdft derived pool: ddftm:\tempview\mkvobtest-try2>
The same technique works on unix, but the shells often give you additional options to do this.

You're in the interactive cleartool shell. So the /d option doesn't exist, and command chaining isn't supported. – Brian Cowan Nov 23 '16 at 18:56

In a simple CMD session, you can chain command with:
cmd /v /c "cd C:\path\to\myview&& cleartool mkact anActivity"
That is more convenient than trying to do it in a cleartool.exe session.
