Help Needed Creating Batch File

[chrisino]

Hi,

I have 2 files that are in the same directory which I want to start one after the other.

I have created a simple batch file like this which opens 2 files at the same time.

Example

Start Server.exe
Start Game.exe

Is it possible to leave say a 10 second gap between opening the Server.exe and Game.exe? Also is it possible to quit Server.exe when I exit Game.exe?

It probably isn't possible but I am pretty useless at scripts and need some help.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here you go. Just put the location where the first.exe and second.exe are.
The 10000 = 10 seconds.

example.
start "HandBrake" "G:\Program Files\HandBrake\Handbrake.exe"


@ECHO OFF
start first.exe
echo wscript.sleep 10000 > temp.vbs
start /wait temp.vbs
start second.exe
del temp.vbs

Thanks rustberger. It worked like a treat. Is it possible to quit the first loaded file after the second file exits?

I guess this isn't something that a simple batch file can do and is more a programming issue?
