About :: MultiRun

MultiRun is a small utility that allows the creation of short scripts to run other applications. It only has six commands, some of which could be accomplished using a simple batch file, however it also has a couple of extras that make it a little more versatile.

What can it do?

It can run a program, run a program and wait for it to close before continuing, pause the script for a set time, close a program, kill a program (force it to close) and set the focus to a particular application.

Script Editor

Also included is a second application that is a simple script editor. It doesn't have any bells or whistles, and is actually more basic than notepad, but it will aid in ensuring correct syntax for your scripts.

Running Scripts

To run a script simply drag and drop the script file onto multiRun.exe. It is also possible to set up a shortcut to multiRun.exe, passing the full path to your script file in the target field.

Notes

MultiRun was put together to fill a particular need and as such has not been fully error trapped. It will probably crash out if your scripts are not perfectly formed, but it does work and I've had no real problems with it. So if you use it, make sure you're careful with your syntax!
