Launching a program after closing another

[guilv14]

Hi guys, I am new in here and I am wondering if it is possible to launch a program after closing another.

I'll explain: Where I work, I have a problem of compatibility with VLC and SmartboardInk, so I have a script that taskkill SmartInk.exe and then launch VLC (to play the movie). I would like to re-open SmartInk.exe when VLC is getting close.

Here's my script:

Code: Select all

@echo off
echo Deleting applications needed.
echo .
echo .
echo .
taskkill /f /im SMARTInk.exe
echo .
echo .
echo .
echo VLC will be launched.
echo .
echo .

IF %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==x86 (goto x86) else (goto amd64)

:x86
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
goto END

:amd64
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
goto END

:END

So, is it possible to re-launch SmartInk.exe when I close VLC?

Thanks alot,
William.

Maybe something like this will work: it will leave an extra msdos window open until smartink runs.

Code: Select all

:x86
start /w "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
start "" c:\location\smartink.exe"
goto END

:amd64
start /w "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
start "" c:\location\smartink.exe"
goto END

:END
