Batch file help

Here's my batch file, but I need steam to quit after the game closes so it will run KeyboardLeds again. Any ideas?
taskkill /F /IM KeyboardLeds.exe > NUL
steam -applaunch 310560
start "KeyboardLeds" /high KeyboardLeds.lnk

You've probably got little chance of doing this easily. I would imagine you'd want to look for a log file that steam updates when the game/steam closes. When your script sees that, (filename, date time, etc) then start keyboardled

what about the "if" command, so "if" rally.exe is not running close steam?

Have you tried the start /wait command for running the game?

@Echo off
taskkill /F /IM KeyboardLeds.exe > NUL
start /wait steam -applaunch 310560
steam -shutdown
start "KeyboardLeds" /high KeyboardLeds.lnk

Alternatively, make the script for running KeyboardLEDs, not Steam.

@Echo off
steam -shutdown > nul 2> nul
start "KeyboardLeds" /high KeyboardLeds.lnk

Thanks, I have tried that but steam still wont close after quitting the game.

Steam does have a script option but I can't find much about it. Maybe you can put the applaunch and shutdown commands in a steam script?
