Need to heavily exercise an eight-core server under Windows. Found a Linux exercising test at Put server on heavy load for testing and would like to perform a similar workout using command prompt commands.

Solved: I created a batch file DO.BAT which contains one line

dir /s /r /on & do ^z

and then from within a command prompt window entered

start do

which opened a new command prompt window and launched DO.BAT to loop until a Ctrl-Break is entered. Then, repeated that until many windows were running.

Many thanks to Bali C who mentioned the start command in How to run multiple DOS commands in parallel?
