Re: Batch File execution problems

From: "Brad Morris" <bradmorris@xxxxxxxxx>

| Can anyone tell me why this batch file won't load each of the files in

|
| It doesnt seem to do anything (other than a command line propmpt flashes on
| the screen and disappears BUT nothing loads).
|
| ::start.bat
| ::starts multiple programs
| ::
| @echo off
|
| START"""C:\Program Files\QuickVerse Sermon Builder 4\qvsb4.exe"
| START"""C:\Program Files\PC Magazine Utilities\Winpointer\WinPointer.exe"
| START"""C:\Program Files\WordPerfect Office 12\Programs\wpwin12.exe"
|
| Thanks

Change it to...

@echo off
START /wait "C:\Program Files\QuickVerse Sermon Builder 4\qvsb4.exe"
START /wait "C:\Program Files\PC Magazine Utilities\Winpointer\WinPointer.exe"
START /wait "C:\Program Files\WordPerfect Office 12\Programs\wpwin12.exe"

The above will run each utility one at a time. The second won't start until the first one
ends and the third won't start until the second one ends.

If you don't want to wait between each utility being loaded...

@echo off
START /min "C:\Program Files\QuickVerse Sermon Builder 4\qvsb4.exe"
START /min "C:\Program Files\PC Magazine Utilities\Winpointer\WinPointer.exe"
START /min "C:\Program Files\WordPerfect Office 12\Programs\wpwin12.exe"
