Help with batch file

[snowdogg187]

"C:\Program Files\Server\RfMgr.exe" 26
"C:\Program Files\Server\RfMgr.exe" 27
Cls

Right now it just opens the first instance and I need to close it again to have it execute the next line.

I tried to create a batch to run multiple bat files and same thing.

Searched everywhere and nothing.

Thanks!!

I think the "start" command spawns off a separate process, so it won't block on the first line.

Thanks for the reply diegoalcatraz but the start command won't launch these commands for some reason. They will launch without it though. That is where I'm stuck.

You're putting "start" on each line prior to the C:\ and it's not working? I've never seen start not launch a command line.

Yeah, for this application you run this command and it will work, if you put start before it doesn't find it.
"C:\Program Files\Server\RfMgr.exe" 39

I tried many things so far and I am now stuck.

Thanks!

What is the number at the end for? That might be the issue, try extending that last quote to the end of the line. Unless that number is there for a different reason then putting start at the begining might not be using it.

that is probably the problem, I have to list the RF numbers for about 15 instances of it to run on the server.

I know this would work with a normal command so maybe this won't work with this application.

Thanks guys.
