I have a small batch program i made to run a few batch files. I have it set up to run the files. Just a quick question: I have a prep file to get the files ready for the next batch file. However, the prep file runs in a loop. I made it run in a loop so i could customize it per-machine. I want it to basically loop for 10 seconds and then close. I want it so my main batch file opens the prep batch file, runs it for 10 seconds, closes it, and then runs the next batch file in the sequence. Is there any way to do this? See the example below for more. Thanks!
Example:
Launcher folder/prep.bat
@echo off
start prep.bat
//Wait for 10 seconds, then close prep.bat
start launch.bat
In prep.bat add this
@Echo Off
title Prep.bat
and then in the controlling batch file add this
start "" prep.bat
ping -n 10 localhost >nul
taskkill /f /im cmd.exe /fi "windowtitle eq Prep.bat"
