Re: How to start multiple jobs but let them run sequentially, as opposed to in parallel?

Or you can write any suitable script (e.g. a *.bat or *.cmd file) that starts your sync (1), waits until sync (1) has ended (e.g. via a CALL or using the /wait option) and then starts sync (2). Thanks very much for you reply! I want to know more about the CALL or /wait you mentioned. Are they a ...

I often move large files between A and B, so I hope to make "detect moved files" work when that happens. In ...
