Ok so how do I write a program or script to automate command line functions. Example being I want a shortcut to open the command line and run "ipconfig /all"

Yeah it's stupid simple but eventually I'd like to expand this to automate further functions.

Knowledge... C++.

Every command parser on every OS allows for some level of scripting. On Windows you can use a batch file, on Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, and others you can use a Bash script file. In both cases the files are basically lists of commands to carry out as if you were typing them one-at-a-time into the command line.
