Running Multithreaded Templates Sequentially

[hungryim]

Does anyone know of a good method to run multithreaded templates sequentially? So for example run 1 template with 50 threads and 200 instances, and then somehow once the last instance has finished, kick off the next template using the generated bat file.

Right now I am writing to a file ".finished" when input list is detected as empty by first thread that reaches empty list, other threads then end and this thread pauses then kicks off next template. I am finding this method somewhat unrealiable though and was wondering if there is a better method I can use. Maybe a method to get the current thread count of the template from ZP or something?

Thanks in advance.

Check "Run program" option - http://zennolab.com/wiki/en:progs_run#run-program. You can run bat file using it.

Thanks Vlad, I'm aware of the bat file options but struggling more with having a single thread from a multithreaded template start off the next template.

I would use task manager
