Is There Software Like This?

I've been wondering if there is software that can run
programs sequentially? For example, I'd like to be able to
run anti-virus software and then have my computer
automatically run anti-spyware software upon completion.
This way I'd be able to run various utilites unattended.
Is there such a thing?

Thank you.
 
Scheduler does not run programs sequentially, just at timed intervals.

You could try to set up a Windows script which would run each app one after
the other. then you could place it in the Scheduler.

Write a batch file and run the two programs sequentially from
within it. Use the start parameter (look it up in help).
 
And there you go.....




cmd /c start /wait program1&start /wait Program2&start /wait program3

VJ could try some of the wide available automation utilities. For
example, nnCron: powerful scheduler and automation software
combination.

Take a look at nnCron description: http://www.nncron.ru.

Use a batch file to start them off, using
Start /w prog1
Start prog2
.. . . etc
exit

The /w switch says wait for this program to exit before doing the next
line
