title: Start multiple console apps from a batch file
body: <p>I'm trying to run some console application .exe files from a batch file in Windows.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I run the following code it only starts the first of the apps:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"C:\Development\App\bin\Debug1\Application.exe"
  timeout 5
  "C:\Development\App\bin\Debug2\Application.exe"
  timeout 5
  "C:\Development\App\bin\Debug3\Application.exe"
  timeout 5
  "C:\Development\App\bin\Debug4\Application.exe"
  timeout 5
  "C:\Development\App\bin\Debug5\Application.exe"
  timeout 5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(I've included the timeout to spread out the intial processing a bit)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get the script file to start the first application, then move on and start the others?</p>
  
  <p>Ideally I would like the script file to start all applications in a subdirectory, so that if I had <code>Debug\Applications\*.exe</code> or similar it would start all applications of type .exe (and possibly waiting 5 seconds between each). Is this possible?</p>
