Windows 10: How to loop a software using batch file

Hi, I have a software that runs from command line, and it needs 2 command windows to run in parallel. So I use a .bat file to start both commands using START. Something like: START program.exe -m method1 START program.exe -m method2 One method runs for 10 hours and the other for 11 hours, then each batch command window closes. How can I run both methods in loops instead of having to restart each manually? Edit: since they do not end in the same time, I'm waiting for the second method to end and then I start both together, but then there's a time when the first method is not running because it ends earlier, although it needs to keep running immediately when it finishes Thanks

:)

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.

How to loop a software using batch file

To loop a batch file forever add a label at the beginning and a GOTO at the end. START has a /WAIT option, so you can wait for the longer of the two methods to complete before looping back to the beginning. Something like....

:Begin
START program.exe -m method1
START /WAIT program.exe -m method2
GOTO Begin
