    Refresh what? Do you have a database that needs periodically refreshing? If so, you presumably have a script to run - do you know what it's called? What is the database software that the script runs against?

    not sure what you want to refreash, only type "cls" that should clear the screen and that kind of 'refreashes' the command prompt.

    As ceemage said "Refresh what?" There's no "refresh" command in DOS. There's no internal command in DOS to refresh anything. (External commands are just executable programs, so there are probably dozens of external "refresh" commands.)

    Hi dear,
    According to me there is no any specific "command" for refreshing in DOS.

    If you are referring to refreshing the desktop in windows, you wouldn't find a similar command in DOS, cls (Clear Screen) only clears all the commands you have previously typed and you'd still have the directory flashing, I wouldn't call it refreshing, so the term "refresh" doesn't apply in DOS

    Yes. There is no possibility for being a refresh cmd in DOS prompt... I've not seen refresh cmd so far...

    There's no context in which a refresh command in DOS would even make sense. Refresh what? The screen? If you're at the DOS prompt, not in some program, the commands you ran finished running, so there's nothing to refresh. (DOS programs can have a command to refresh their screens, but the command processor - the DOS prompt screen, has nothing to refresh.)

    Reloading/Refreshing the terminal can be used to import new environment variables (like %PATH%) if they were changed outside of CMD (e.g. by a third party program or the built-in path editor in Windows) or to load a set of new commands that were created with the doskey command.

    CMD has no real function to reload itself like Linux/GNU/Mac terminals etc.
    A workaround to reload CMD is to open up a new CMD and close the old one.

    the following one-line-script should help:
    start cmd && exit
    Code (markup):
    Now all you need to do is save this line into a file called reload.cmd or reload.bat (up to your personal preferences) and save it in a directory listed in %path%, e.g. C:/Windows/System32

    Now you can reload your CMD by typing reload. :)

    Greetings,
    Nico

    If you mean in-browser (not patronizing just mentioning) you may be referring to F5.
    perhaps you mean refresh your net?
    'ipconfig /release' then let it do it's thing, then 'ipconfig /renew' will help clear up issues with your internet connection.

    There is no refresh command in DOS, exactly what do you mean to refresh, the page refresh is F5
