Re: Problem when executing application from batch file

I do not understand and maybe someone please can explain to why, after
executing the first line of the batch file the batch execution stops until I
close my application.
What kind of mechanism is that?
sample of batch file:
[].exe /5553331234
[].exe /5556770808
[].exe /5553451234

That happens only if there is not previous instance running.
I can see batch execution in CMD window. I can see the first batch line
being executed and then nothing. I close my app and then second line of
batch file appears and my app is alive again. I close my app and then the
third line of batch file will appear.
If I understand the mechanism of that behaviour maybe I can patch over that
problem
