How to run multiple DOS commands in parallel?

You can execute commands in parallel with start like this:

start "" ping myserver
start "" nslookup myserver
start "" morecommands

They will each start in their own command prompt and allow you to run multiple commands at the same time from one batch file.

Hope this helps!

I suggest you to see "How do I run a bat file in the background from another bat file?"

Also, good answer (of using start command) was given in "Parallel execution of shell processes" question page here;

But my recommendation is to use PowerShell. I believe it will perfectly suit your needs.

if you have multiple parameters use the syntax as below. I have a bat file with script as below:

start "dummyTitle" [/options] D:\path\ProgramName.exe Param1 Param2 Param3 
start "dummyTitle" [/options] D:\path\ProgramName.exe Param4 Param5 Param6 

This will open multiple consoles.
