start /wait does not wait :(

Hi,

I have the batch file which is executed every half an hour on a server to do some backups:

-----8<-----
@echo off
echo compress1
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c start "zip" /wait /b /low "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -t7z "-m0
=PPMd" "-mmem=32m" "-mo=8" "-mhe=on" -- backup1.7z "c:\dir1\*.*"
echo compress2
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c start "zip" /wait /b /low "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -t7z "-m0
=PPMd" "-mmem=32m" "-mo=8" "-mhe=on" -- backup2.7z "c:\dir2\*.*"
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 100
echo do something...
pause
-----8<-----

7z.exe (compress program) eats too much cpu, so I need to run it as a low priority task to preserve
computer response for other tasks. It is executed as low priority task, BUT it does not wait for 7z.exe's
end. What's wrong with my batch?

Thank you in advance.

Y.

Or microsoft.public.win2000.cmdprompt.admin
Mention that you are using XP, but most of this stuff is done the same way
on both OS.
