How do I issue commands to Windows comand prompt using AutoIt?

Question

How do I issue commands to Windows comand prompt using AutoIt? What didn't work (I used Sleep() to make sure it is not skipping because of fast execution):

;Run application
Run("cmd.exe")

;Wait for cmd to be opened
WinWaitActive("Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe", "", 15)

;Write some commands on cmd
ControlSend("Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe", "", "Edit1", "cd\")
Sleep(10000)
Send("{Enter}")
Sleep(10000)
ControlSend("Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe", "", "Edit1", "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins")
Sleep(10000)
Send("{Enter}")
ControlSend("Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe", "", "Edit1", "jenkins.exe start")
Sleep(10000)
Send("{Enter}")

Do not include solution to question please (post a separate answer instead). — user4157124

Start your program directly:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c jenkins.exe start", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins")

Use &

Exp :

$CMD = 'cd %tmp% & md 1 & md 2 & cd %tmp%/1 & md 3 4 & md "5 6" &'
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD )
