Commands :: MultiRun
This page contains a quick run down of
the commands available with MultiRun. An
explaination of each command's effect is
given and its syntax is shown.
shell
The shell command is used to run another
application. MultiRun will execute this
command and immediately move on to the next
command in the script.
| shell("target","start-in","command",state) |
The following parameters are accepted:
target
= The full path to the application to
shell.
start-in = The
full path of the folder to start in.
command = Any
command line arguments to pass.
state = The
window state to use. This can be 'norm',
'max' or 'min'.
shellWait
The shellWait command is used to run another
application, but wait for that application
to close or be closed before continuing
to the next command in the script.
| shellWait("target","start-in","command",state) |
The following parameters are accepted:
target
= The full path to the application to
shell.
start-in = The
full path of the folder to start in.
command = Any
command line arguments to pass.
state = The
window state to use. This can be 'norm',

closeProgram
The closeProgram command will attempt to
close a running application. This is the
best way to close a running program as the
application will ask you if you wish to
save any unsaved data before it closes.
To use this command you must pass all or
part of the title bar text of the application
you wish to close.
| closeProgram("title-text") |
The following parameters are accepted:
title-text
= Full or partial title bar text of the
application.
killProgram
The killProgram function is similar to
closeProgram, however it will force a program
to close. Be aware that any unsaved data
in the application that is closed will be
lost. To use this command you need to pass
the process name of the program you wish
to close. This can be found in the task
manager under the processes tab. An example
would be “geOShell.exe”.
The following parameters are accepted:
process
= The full process name of the application.
setFocus
setFocus will activate the selected Windows
application. To use this command you must
pass all or part of the title bar text of
the application you wish to set the focus
to.
The following parameters are accepted:
title-text
= Full or partial title bar text of the
application to receive focus.
wait
This command simply pauses the execution
of the script for the number of seconds
entered.
