I have a program that calls GhostScript in the background by issuing a shell command with hardcoded(!) parameters. Unfortunately it is impossible to change that in a defined matter and the used parameters produce a bad result. I do have the possibility to define the path and exe of the conversion program, which gives rise to hope.

I now look for a tool that lets me fake the gswin64c.exe (or perhaps any other command line tool) but where I can provide my own set of parameters while keeping some original values like the filename(s).

I think of some "universal command line wrapper" that I can give an arbitrary name for the exe (no batch!) and maybe a defined config file that contains the necessary parameter manipulation and final call to the target program.

I have not been able to locate such a ready made tool, but I may have missed the right keywords to search for. If there is no such tool, I have to build one for myself but I don't want to invent the wheel a second time.

  • Honestly I suspect making a custom tool in e.g. standard C# would take less effort than trying to configure a generic tool with its own made-up rule syntax, even if such a tool existed...

You may include any command or commands with parameters inside a .bat file.

If the invoked program must be called gswin64c.exe, you may convert the .bat script to an .exe.

See the post How can I convert a Windows batch script to a .exe?
