Todo.pl does execute commands backwards, however if you watch it running you will see what looks like commands running in normal order. You're actually misinterpreting what you're seeing. What happens is the .bat file runs and the lines that say "todo.pl dostuff" are executed, however "dostuff" is not run at that time. What just happened is you witnessed those items being added to the stack.
When todo actually runs all the items in the stack, it does do it in the proper order. If you want you can make an experiment. Create a file test.bat, add it to your scripts directory, and put this inside it: :: OPTIONAL: Perform todo.pl execution order test todo.pl "echo last > c:\result.txt" todo.pl "echo first > c:\result.txt" When you build a PC, make sure to select this file from the menu of available scripts (that's what :: OPTIONAL was for). Then at the end of your build look at c:\result.txt. If the text is "last" then todo is running backwards, if you see "first" then something is terribly wrong.

Just put a line in your develop.bat that uses todo.pl to start your .bat file and all commands inside (without another todo.pl) will just be run like you would expect. - Harm On Thu, 2009-01-08 at 11:12 -0700, Travis Zadikem wrote: > I have created a new .bat file and it has lines like: > > :: Let's reboot now so we can continue the develop.bat stuff > :: todo.pl .reboot > :: Install the Windows Disk Timeout.reg > todo.pl "regedit /s %Z% > \packages/pillar/APM/Modify_Windows_Disk_Timeout.reg" > :: Need to install the newer APM that Pillar now uses > todo.pl "msiexec /qb /l* %SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\apm.txt /i %Z% > \packages\pillar\APM\030004\axiompm-3.0.4.x86.msi > REBOOT=ReallySuppress" > :: Need to patch again Microsoft Storpoint driver for newer APM > todo.pl "%Z%\packages\93915\WindowsServer2003-KB939315-x86-ENU.exe > r:n /qb /c:\"msiexec /qb /l* %SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\storpoint.txt" > :: Need to patch Microsoft Storpoint driver for newer APM > todo.pl "%Z%\packages\932755\WindowsServer2003-KB932755-x86-ENU.exe > r:n /qb /c:\"msiexec /qb /l* %SystemDrive%\netinst\logs > \storpoint.txt"" > > which is called from develop.bat.
