Solve : Possible to check for other 'open' dos windows with a batch fi

1.	Solve : Possible to check for other 'open' dos windows with a batch file??
Answer» I'd like to run 2 batch files over 24 hour period. The batch files should finish in 2 hours and are separated by more then 6 hours. However, in the event that one stalls, I want to be able to exit any NEW batch files if a new batch starts when the other batch FILE is still running. My question: Is it possible to check for other open dos windows in a batch file and if so how? Thanks MCIf you are using a XP system then you COULD use the task commands. EX: tasklist /v taskkill here is a link to MS web page describing information on what you are LOOKING for.
