if you have multiple parameters use the syntax as below. I have a bat file with script as below:

start "dummyTitle" [/options] D:\path\ProgramName.exe Param1 Param2 Param3 
start "dummyTitle" [/options] D:\path\ProgramName.exe Param4 Param5 Param6

This will open multiple consoles.

You can execute commands in parallel with start like this   start    ping myserver start    nslookup myserver start    morecommands   They will each start in their own command prompt and allow you to run multiple commands at the same time from one batch file   Hope this helps

I suggest you to see  How do I run a bat file in the background from another bat file    Also  good answer  of using start command  was given in  Parallel execution of shell processes  question page here   But my recommendation is to use PowerShell  I believe it will perfectly suit your needs
