I am calling a C# Console Application via batch file, in order to send the application output into a text file, with the date/time etc. 

The problem I have is that when the console application completes, it leaves the batch window open, because there is a PAUSE (the C# equivalent), so a key must be pressed for the window to close. This means I do not know when the job has finished. 

Is there a way I can make the CMD window close when the application finished, without having to change the C# Application code?

```
@ECHO================================================================================
@ECHO The Application is currently running and may take some time. Please wait...
@ECHO================================================================================
@ECHO OFF

C:\Applications\Job\Job.exe > C:\Applications\Job\Job_Output\"Output_%date:/=-% %time::=-%.txt"

```
