I believe it actually continues to run because I currently am running one folder at a time and then watching TOP until the process goes away. Then I move to the next folder.

Thank you for the...

I guess I'm just being a tad paranoid...haha.

Hello,

I am in need of running an executable provided by a vendor that basically syncs files to a db. This tool can only be run against one folder at a time and it cannot have more than one...
