CmdShortCut

CmdShortCut is a small software application designed specifically for helping you run several useful tools directly from the command-line console, namely ipconfig, ping, and nslookup.

Comes in a portable package

You can keep the utility stored on pen drives or other portable devices to carry it with you all the time. Plus, you may run it straight from the storage device without having to possess administrative privileges.
It’s easy to gain access to its GUI because you only need to double-click on the executable file. No installation process is required. In case you no longer consider it useful, you may get rid of it by deleting the files that you have downloaded from the Internet because it does not generate entries in your Windows registry and create additional setup files on the host PC.

Command-line running mode

CmdShortCut can be controlled only via the command-line console. The entire process can be set up in a short amount of time so you do not have to worry that you need to input complex configuration parameters. However, you still need to have some previous skills for controlling the networking tools.
The application offers you the possibility to choose between three main utilities, namely ipconfig, ping, and nslookup. You can quickly activate them and get access to their configuration parameters. ipconfig deals with monitoring all current TCP/IP network configuration values, and altering DHCP and DNS settings, while ping helps you gather and record information about any packet loss. The nslookup network utility is suitable for querying the DNS.
In addition, you are allowed to update the program with ease. Tests have pointed out that CmdShortCut carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so you do not have to worry that your computer’s performance is burdened.

Final remarks

To sum things up, CmdShortCut comes packed with several simple and handy features for helping you run some of the most used tools in the Command Prompt.
