i have two executable to run simultaneously(say a.out and b.out) i

i. b.out runs first and generates some output.

for b.out.
and this goes on in a loop.

i have a idea of how much time b.out can take, and until now i make
a.out to sleep until b.out creats the file, which is worst way of
doing it.
can anybody suggest me a better idea to make it?

Why do they have to run simultaneously ?

If I understood correctly, B runs first and generates some output,
then A runs and uses that output, to generate some more output. Then B
runs again, and uses output of A as an input.

Why not use a batch file for just putting them in a loop ? What is the
stopping condition ?
