Open multiple node.js servers with batch file

Question

I'm using Windows. Currently every time I restart my server I have to run a bunch of commands to get my servers up and running and I'd like to consolidate them into a single batch script if possible. Here's the process I currently have to run through: open command prompt cd /mongodb/bin mongod open another command prompt cd /forum node proxy.js open another command prompt cd /forum node app.js open ANOTHER command prompt cd /game node app.js I feel like there is definitely a better way to do this but I can't seem to find an appropriate solution.

Accepted Answer

If you place a batch file in the directory where all these folders are (I guess its your nodejs directory), you can create a `start.bat` file containing the commands:

```
start mongodb/bin/mongod
start node forum/proxy.js
start node forum/app.js
start node game/app.js
```

This will execute every command simultaneously, in a separate window. Save this as a file with a `.bat` extension and you are done

Old answer:

```
mongodb/bin/mongod
node forum/proxy.js
node forum/app.js
node game/app.js
```

Or if you want all the processes to run in a separate window:

```
start cmd /k mongodb/bin/mongod
start cmd /k node forum/proxy.js
start cmd /k node forum/app.js
start cmd /k node game/app.js
```
