This clusterrun.exe will run any application thats not a cluster application (i.e. processflow) when the Lawson services start up. You add this .exe as a generic application in the cluster. Then you create a batchfile called (launch.bat) in your CCSDIR\processflow directory (then put whatever you want to startup in here like EM/PFLOW etc..). Make sure you have a system environment variable called CCSDIR defined on both nodes in the cluster - This app uses User32.dll, and kernel32.dll, for all API timer/shell routines.
