Is there a return value issue? Do the results of one program feed into another, or is there a conditional based on the results of one program?
Is there a sequencing and timing issue? Is is necessary to wait on one program to complete before starting the next?
Good Luck

Just as CajunCenturion said it is important to understand the order of the steps in your process which you want done.
If you do this with batch jobs the payback will just about be immediate.
You will have to create your own macros. Depending on what programs you are running it can be quite easy.
Be sure to test the program and try to anticipate problems such as the computer going down due to loss of power or whatever else can occur in you environment.
