Creating Processes

I need to create a number of processes either on a local or remote system. Preferably, the number created would be user defined.

The reason for this is to stress test an application. I can do this via VB right now, but only a pre-set number of processes can be started. Currently I start 25 instances of Notepad.exe, but would like to allow the tester to pick the number to be run.

PHP Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim i As Long
i = 1
Do While (i < CLng(Text1.Text))
    
    WinExec "notepad", 1
    i = i + 1
Loop

End Sub
