Start multiple JavaScript files and wait for them to finish

Question

I am building a program that outputs a batch file. In this batch file there are some links to JavaScript files, which are then supposed to run within photoshop.

Most of it works, but I just want the next JavaScript to run when the previous one is finished! Is this possible?

i used: start /wait "" "PATH TO PHOTOSHOP" "PATH_TO_JS_FILE" — Joey Cooijmans, Feb 04 '19 at 12:16
you may also use the `/d "path"` switch of `start` command, it simplifies things a lot — elzooilogico, Feb 04 '19 at 13:28

Yes, this is certainly possible using start with the /wait flag, telling the system to wait to finish a command before processing the next command. Run each file with:

start "" /wait node something.js [arguments]

It is suggested for you, to read the output of start /? carefully in cmd.exe.

@JoeyCooijmans, it usually is when you read the help file for the command you are using. – Squashman Feb 04 '19 at 15:20
