ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = "cmd.exe";
psi.Arguments = @"/C cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin & dir & pause";
using (Process p = Process.Start(psi))
{
p.WaitForExit();
}

With this code, I first open cmd and then run mongo.exe. But after switching to mongo shell, I can't send any commands (with Code). My goal is to automate Mongo ReplicaSet. For this, I need to get input and output by interfering with mongoshell. Thank you in advance for your help.

There is an easier way of doing this.

  1. Start the MongoDB instance and put it in background.
  2. Open a new mongo shell and run your commands.
    • When you like to use the mongo shell then you should use native JavaScript commands, i.e. start shell with javascript file name (see Core Options)
    • If you prefer to do all in C# then you should use the MongoDB C#/.NET Driver
  3. As last command in your shell script put db.getSiblingDB("admin").shutdownServer() - by this the first window will terminate and you don't need any WaitForExit()
