BATCH FILES:
Back then in college i used to use this trick. When i really needed to run several of my applications over weekends in series in automated manner, i used to set one batch file which will instruct all of them to be executed, without demanding my attention.
Batch files are basically, text files consiting of bunch of commands, which in most cases are executed in series, line by line. Therefore, to make a batch file is easily done (QED), by opening text files and type in it your desired commands, then make other necessities to complete a task succesful, which include saving the batch file in proper place in your drive or memory, so that the executable may be called from the batch file. Then, you will need to start command prompt and call your batch file from there...and there you are!
.BAT is the common extension, but depending on the Environment other extensions like .CMD and .BTM might ply.
Mazee, anything to add on this?
