TSKaapop is a command-line utility to run multiple applications from one command with the further ability to close those applications simultaneously with one action. This utility was written to allow a single call to launch multiple applications in their own process, ensuring that a user has access to only the applications they require in a single seamless or desktop session. TSKaapop with its parameters can exist as a shortcut on the desktop, can be run in a script, or published as a single application that runs multiple applications, each with its own process. TSKaapop will work as a Seamless Published application in a Citrix environment. If multiple applications are launched via TSKaapop in a Seamless environment, the session will not close until each application has been closed or the first application called in the command line of TSKaapop is closed. If for example, notepad.exe is launched via TSKaapop as the first parameter, and calc.exe and excel.exe are launched as the second and third parameters respectively, then all three applications will launch, each as a separate process. If notepad.exe is then closed by the user, then calc.exe and excel.exe will also terminate. If this command was presented as a published application in Citrix or directly called from a Terminal Services Client, then the session will also close. All applications called by TSKaapop can be closed individually, excluding the first launched which, as stated, will close any application called by TSKaapop. Usage: TSKaapop [[PATH][Application] [PATH][Application] ...] [/?] PATH - Path to the Application Application - Application Executable /? - Show this help file TSKaapop without parameters will display this help file. NOTE: If a PATH or Application does not exist, TSKaapop will terminate at that point. Any applications launched prior will still be operational. E.G. TSKaapop "c:\Program Files\Office11\EXCEL.EXE" c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe This command will launch MS Excel and notepad one after the other. E.G. TSKaapop "c:\Program Files\Office11\EXCEL.EXE" "c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe h:\MyTextfile.txt" This command will launch MS Excel and h:\MyTextfile.txt in notepad one after the other.
