You shouldn't need a Python program for that. To run the not simultaneously: call batch1.bat call batch2.bat call batch3.bat call batch4.bat Put those commands with appropriate names in a fifth batch file and execute that and it will work. To run them simultaneously (which won't break Windows, but might not do what you would like, depending on what those batch files actually do), just add the "start" command into the equation. You can get help on the start command using "start /?" at a DOS prompt. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
