What he does is first get all of the process ID's before starting >any of the *.cmd programs Your method will all work, but it's really roundabout and it is subject to interesting failure modes. The standard solution is for the .cmd file to record it's PID somewhere, usually in a file with a name corresponding to the script name. This makes the solution really simple. It's even easier if you use a capable shell that will tell you the PID of an app when you start it. This way, you don't need to duplicate the code to record the PID in every .cmd file.
