# Run Individual Batch Processes

You can run one batch process at a time.

To start an individual batch process, use \bin\process.bat. The command-line requires the following parameters.

-   Configuration directory—The default is \conf.

    To use an alternate directory, create a directory and add these files to it.

    -   If your process is not interactive, copy process-conf.xml from \samples\conf.
    -   If your process requires database connectivity, copy database-conf.xml from \samples\conf.
    -   Copy config.properties from \conf.
-   Process name—The name of the ProcessRunner bean from \samples\conf\process-conf.xml.

Process Example

```nolang
process ../conf accountMasterProcess
```

**note:** To view tips and instructions, add `-help` to the command contained in process.bat.

**note:** You can configure external process launchers, such as the Windows XP Scheduled Task Wizard, to run processes on a schedule.
