Run batch files in Windows XP

[Ernesto]

Thanks.

Yeah I started to write in Python.  Looks like this:

******************************************************
import os
from os.path import join

# Get input from user and make sure it is valid

fileDirec = raw_input("\nEnter the path of where your
STMP3XXX_SDK_FIRMWARE\nis located (i.e. C:\) : ")
if not os.path.exists(fileDirec):
    exit(" ** File or path does not exist... exiting ** ")


# Builds all binaries simultaneously for SDK 3.050
def buildBinaries(_path):
    _bootmanagerPath = join(_path,
"STMP3XXX_SDK_FIRMWARE\DeviceDriver\Media\SmartMedia\BootManager\STMP3500\make")
    _usbmscPath = join(_path,
"STMP3XXX_SDK_FIRMWARE\Projects\Sdk\lcdexample\usbmsc\make")
    _playerPath = join(_path,
"STMP3XXX_SDK_FIRMWARE\Projects\Sdk\lcdexample\player\make")
    _mtpPath = join(_path,
"STMP3XXX_SDK_FIRMWARE\Projects\Sdk\lcdexample\mtp\make")

    # First build bootmanager...change to that directory
    # and run the bootmanager file...  Similarly for the others...
    os.chdir(_bootmanagerPath)
    os.execl(("bootmanager.bat"),("BOOTMANAGER ALL"))

    os.chdir(_usbmscPath)
    os.execl(("usbmsc.bat"),("USBMSC ALL UPDATER"))

    os.chdir(_playerPath)
    os.execl(("player.bat"),("PLAYER ALL"))

    os.chdir(_mtpPath)
    os.execl(("mtp.bat"),("MTP ALL"))

 # After gathering user input, call routine to build binaries...
buildBinaries(fileDirec)
******************************************************************

The issue is after the first execution of os.execl, the script stops
altogether.  In other words after bootmanager.bat executes, its over.
I would love to Python if I could get all scripts to execute (executing
simultaneously would be a major + !)
I'll try os.system
THANKS!!!
