Yes. It's just launching another Process, exactly like you would for running one command. You just launch another one for the next command.

But, you haven't shown the code you've written for launching anything, so it's a bit difficult to tell you anything specific about your implementation.

Also, why would you .BAT files when you can do the same things directly in code?
