.bat file ? - Run several cmds concurrently?

[mjw]

Greetings,

I have a very simple bat file (on xp pro) that I'm trying to use to launch multiple telnet-client sessions to various sets of hosts.  The problem is that only one client session launches.  The following commands don't execute until the previous one exits.

Is there a way to launch them all simultaneously/concurrently as you may in unix by backgrounding each task?  A code fragment from the bat file appears below.  Any help is sincerely appreciated.  Thanks!

@ECHO OFF
REM OpenNOC5.bat - Opens a SecureCRT window for 3 hosts
:
SET CMD=C:\Program Files\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.exe
SET CONFIGPATH=C:\VanDyke\Config
SET SESSIONPATH=MUAT
:
SET HOST1=cmtnoc5-mx1
SET HOST2=cmtnoc5-mx2
SET HOST3=cmtnoc5-mx3

"%CMD%" /f "%CONFIGPATH%" /S "%SESSIONPATH%\%HOST1%"
"%CMD%" /f "%CONFIGPATH%" /S "%SESSIONPATH%\%HOST2%"
"%CMD%" /f "%CONFIGPATH%" /S "%SESSIONPATH%\%HOST3%"

one way is to separate out your 3 commands to separate batch, and run these batches together.

You can use the start command which will launch three separate windows (processes) all running concurrently.

Code: [Select]

@ECHO OFF
REM OpenNOC5.bat - Opens a SecureCRT window for 3 hosts
:
SET CMD=C:\Program Files\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.exe
SET CONFIGPATH=C:\VanDyke\Config
SET SESSIONPATH=MUAT
:
SET HOST1=cmtnoc5-mx1
SET HOST2=cmtnoc5-mx2
SET HOST3=cmtnoc5-mx3
 
start "%CMD%" /f "%CONFIGPATH%" /S "%SESSIONPATH%\%HOST1%"  
start "%CMD%" /f "%CONFIGPATH%" /S "%SESSIONPATH%\%HOST2%"
start "%CMD%" /f "%CONFIGPATH%" /S "%SESSIONPATH%\%HOST3%"

Good luck.  8-)

You are kidding, right? This would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Why not just ask your friend?
